Michelin Latitude N0 295/35ZR21 Shortage

I need rear tires for my Cayenne Turbo S. The fronts are fine and my tire dealer, who is a very good friend and a Michelin dealer, says Michelin has none available nor are any in the manufacturing pipeline. He called Tire Rack and was told the same thing. I don't want to mix brands on front and rear which is something Porsche says is a definite No No but I also don't want to replace two very good tires. Anybody know of any stock available anywhere? Thanks in advance for any help.

Well I'm in a bind, have small leak by the wall due to running over glass...I have 60% thread across all, but not one tire to be found anywhere. So I called Michelin and they are trying to see how they can help me...keeping my fingers crossed. They have stopped making the Latitudes 295/35ZR21 – if they don’t find a spare they might get me into one of their competitors...so call and see if they can hook you up, they asked for rep (post tire inspection) to call them

I don't know anything about these people but may be worth a call.

I know I am not supposed to put a link to a non sponsor but I don't think there are any sponsors selling used tires and just trying to help. Says Pilot Sport on top but shows Latitude tire.

You might try some Porsche dealers. I picked up a nail in a front tire on my '09 Turbo S last March while in FL and the local dealer had one in stock.

So after I spoke to my "P" Dealer (bought the car from them) and they in turned called Porsche, surprisingly Porsche along with the Michelin boys have stepped up to replace all 4 with a new 21" spec tire that's replacing the old latitude and I'll only need to cough up for one...go figure good karma I say...still keeping fingers crossed
