Default no more Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 in 245/45/R16?

A few months ago the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 in 245/45/R16 was available on tirerack.com but I don't see it anymore. I have them in 205's in the front with plenty of tread left, but I need new rear tires. I can no longer find them on tirerack. were they discontinued in that size? any other source for them?

I got a rear set a little over a month ago from Tirerack. If they dont have them, check Sears/NTB, they are around $120ea from Sears though.

tirerack.com has the 712's in 245/50/R16. think my handling would be much different with a 50 instead of a 45? I know it would throw my speedometer off slightly
