Mjones is correct, I just went through this. However my dealer gave me a discount, they got them in 2 days. Michelin is not making any friends with this situation.

Default I'm in the same boat too...

...having developed a bubble on the right rear sidewall. So I need two Pilot Sport Ribs N1, and both Tire Rack and the dealership in STL are saying delivery is unknown. I'm thinking this could take months to sort out since I'm new to the que. If anyone has any leads, I'd appreciate a heads-up. I need the same size as above for an '04 coupe. TIA!

I ended up putting Pirelli P-Zero Rosso 285/30/18 tires on the rear. If these wear as nicely as the Michelin, I am not going back to the Pilot Sport. I still can't believe that Michelin is back-ordered for 6 months! They've upset many customers.
