Did you talk to your dealer. My dealer gets them with little issue.

FWIW, I talked to the Michelin rep at Werks Reunion in Monterey last Friday. He acknowledged that they underestimated demand for the MPSC2's and are working hard to get caught up and increase supply because the last thing they want is for customers to be looking at alternatives from other manufacturers. Doesn't resolve the problem at the moment, of course, but at least they are supposedly working on it.

Mike, that's good news on the MPSC2s but did you ask them about the PS2s or MPSSs? I couldn't find those anywhere for the rears and the rumors (both on this board and elsewhere online) are supplies won't show up until spring 2016

Sorry, Zero911, my interest was in the MPSC2's and I didn't think to ask about the other tires. He did mention that they were working especially hard to keep large vendors like the Tire Rack supplied; hopefully that would apply across model lines but it's all just PR management if tires aren't actually available to buy.

Thanks Mike. Not sure what's up with the PS2s and SSs. Good to hear MPSC isn't an issue.

I sure wish other manufactures like Bridgestone would make the RE71R in our size.

yea looking for recommendations as well, just got a note that 2 tires on the same side have punctures but have been patched.
I'm not too happy with patched tires, will call dealer and see what he can source.

Glen, I bought a tire shop and can get you what you need. And cheaper than the Rack. Let me know next time.
