I've been looking for a few weeks now and there are none to be found in the country. Some sites claim to have them but when you call they don't have them in stock. Tire Rack claims an early August estimated ship date but that's an estimate. I've even called into Canada with no luck.

I don't want to put Contis or Pirellis but the wait to fit my new HREs is killing me. Anyone else waiting on the same 20in rears? Anyone selling?

very hard to find, had the same issue with 21" PS1's way back for the 7er. Had them shipped over from Europe and stocked up too, royal pain in the butt.

Think ahead, nail in tire etc., you might have to settle for 2nd choice tire now so you can find them easier down the road.

Sorry, Michelin is being tight-lipped on production schedules as of late and this is also a French made size. Once produced they still have to be shipped to the US.

All they are telling us is end of July estimated...

Damon,

Is the unavailability only for 20's ? What if I want to get a set of PS2's for my 19's ? Are they available for the stock TT wheels ? I really like my OEM Bridgestones (I'm probably the only one) for all-weather driving in NY, but they have almost 14K miles on them (the tires last way longer with the tip tranny). If I can't get PS2's what would you recommend for an all-weather daily driver (who will hit the track on occasion).

19s are available as are 20s for the front. It's just the 20in rears that are unavailable.

Hey OT997,

I was in the same situation as you back in March. I went thru many sources and was told out of stock and back-order. The problem with back-orders is there's no fixed availability date so the wait could be longer than estimated. My patience paid off and i finally got my hands on the 325/25/20 ps2 last month. I had mine directed from Germany.. and i paid slightly higher. I was lucky to have met this guy and received the tyres in 2wks time. I swear by PS2 hence my determination to wait.. even though the anxiety to put on the P43 grew everyday!

There are plenty of tires available...just not 325/25-20 which is not an OEM size so probably pretty limited production.

This happen last year with Pzero. I was waiting forever on some in rear 20" for my aftermarkets and when I went to get some new rears for my stock wheels on the C2S,they were on back order. The dealer switch all my tires to PS2 at the price of just rears.
Now one year later I'm getting new rims for the turbo and no 20" PS2 so I'm going to have to run pzero. Would rather have the PS2 but don't feel like waiting or paying the premium on trying to get them from over seas..

I was in the same boat last month, same tire.
I found them at CEC. Might want to try them, as they might still have some in stock.
