OK I have no idea if I spelled it correctly. Scold me if you must.

Last week I put a new General Exclaim on the Passenger rear of my roadster. All because of a nail ithe sidewall.
Upon inspection, I noticed the existing tires were at 3/32 so, with my TC going off all day, I decided to order the matching driver's side Exclaim.
OOPS!
Nationaly out of stock and they are making no more. The tire guys could have told me that last week before I put $300 bucks into a new tire.

Anyway, He is suggesting the Hanook as an alternative saying is is virtually the same tire.

FOS or is that valid?

Secondly is the Hanook a decent tire?

I am a skinflint about everything but Brakes and tires. Going to theDragon this fall, I don't want a ribbing because I wore two different style shoes to the party.

Comments please?
