Default Help! Flat tire, can't find replacement

Last weekend, I think I ran over a rock or something, and I ended up puncturing my front right tire. Since it was only an 8 min. ride to get home, I figured that it would be okay if I drove on it. Dumb idea. The damage was worse than I thought, and I ended up messing up the tire. I got it plugged, and I can drive on it but once I get up to 40 mph, the ride gets real wobbly. I've looked everywhere for a replacement, but everyone says that they are on backorder and won't be available until 6/6/03. Does anyone know where I can find a Bridgestone Potenza RE040 in size 225/45WR18 tire? Any help would be appreciated.

I tried tirerack.com, but they won't have them until June 6.

Ares how much are you willing to sell the tire for? Is it 91 W? I see that you have the touring version, and doesn't it come with 94W front tires? I need one with 91W for the track model.
