there seems to be a world wide drought on stock sizes for the 996 TT

I had zero problems ordering Sumis from Tire Rack - shipped the same day. Ask for Damon. I also could have done the Hankooks - in stock too.

I was thinking about the Hankook v12's too. Never really a fan of the brand, but these are supposedly right up there with the big boys in terms of performance

Yikes is infamous around these parts
I had a similar experience about 2 years ago. I ordered 315/25/19s at Costco and after four weeks of waiting I was told that they were a limited run tire and that Michelin waited for orders to accumulate before they produced a batch. Ordered in March, received the tires in May

I had to wait a long while too but finally after a few weeks my PS2's came in, I wouldn't do anything else in a 996TT..
