Source for Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2s?

Wow,

I am now ready to by tires and the Pilot Exalto's in 225x50x15 are discontinued. Michelin has confirmed this.

I am wondering if anyone has a source of 2 PE2's in 225x50x15 and 2 more in 205X55X15?

I am thinking of purchasing 2 sets if they are available.

Thanks

Have you checked Costco? I bought my Michelins (Pilot Sport A/S, 16") there ~6 months ago. They usually have a big stock of Michelins and can special order.

When I looked in May of this year, Costco had nothing, and couldn't order them. I was able to get two 205's from Tirerack (they didn't have the 225's), so I ended up buying them through a local tireshop as a special order. I'm sure by now they'll be even harder to get.
What is Mich replacing them with?
