Default What model runflat tires came with a 2006 SC 430?

I currently have three of the four original runflat tires that came with my 2006 SC 430. I had them replaced early so they are basically unused (the fourth tire I did use with a different set and needs to be replaced).

The three tires are still basically new, but my mechanic says that he needs the fourth tire to be the same tire so that the car runs evenly. Does anyone know what the model # for the runflat tires on the 2006 SC 430 was?

It should be on the sidewall of the tires.

I re read your post a couple of times because I was sure I must have missed the point. Sadly, that does not seem to be the case. Have you or your mechanic even looked at the tires? No tire I have ever seen is generic. Meaning no brand etc. I could tell you what the brand was in 06 since I have an 06, but that would just be too simple.

Thank you The tires were at the mechanic's though and nobody other than the owner of the shop knew where they were, and it was hard to get a hold of him.

It seems my tires are:
Code:
Dunlop SP Sport 5000M A/S DSST CTT 93V M+S
Size 245/40r18 Runflats
My mechanic says these aren't made anymore, however when I go to the dunloptires.com website I find these:
http://www.dunloptires.com/en-US/tir...26502114100000

Are the above the correct tires? The dunloptires.com search seems wonky because sometimes it says no results and other times those come up.

That is the correct size for the OEM wheels. I don't see the speed rating on them though. Typically, the R just means radial.
