If you don't have the money, or want to spend it on a matching set of tires, then I guess your only other option would be to purchase different tires for the front wheels. Why is it that you like that particular model of Goodyear tires? All the major tire brands make comparable all season and high performance summer tires. It's just a matter of price, brand loyalty or what tread pattern you like. I've run Yokohama, Nitto, Falken, Kumho, and Bridgestone on my Integras, and they all performed pretty well. Some better than others in certain aspects, but that was expected. Worse case scenario, do some research and find the replacement tire that Goodyear came out with to replace the tire that you're unable to find. Buy that tire or find the closest match in their current tire lineup that meets your specifications. With Bridgestone, we have the RE-040, RE-050 and now the new RE-11. All the tires have similar technology in the rubber and similar tread patterns. The tire has just evolved over the years through small improvements. I'm not familiar with Goodyear's current tire line, but they probably have something pretty similar to the discontinued tire that you're looking for.
