Default can`t find tires that fit

My 97 needs new tires, I am looking for UHP 30k milage summer tires. So I have my tire dealer looking. First I wanted nitto invo tires, same as I have on the front, but dealer can`t find any anywhere, so next tried hankook Ventus V12, he can find the front, but not the back. next the Falken Azenis fk510, he found the rear, but not the fronts(seems reviews don`t like the tread life) soooo if I go with the hankook on the front, suggestions for the rear? price, handling and road noise important.

Sounds like you need a different dealer. There's tons of options available in C5 sizes. I personally prefer the Conti Sport Contact 2

thanks, but not looking for an all season tire, it does not get driven in the snow.
