You hear this a lot. My best mate is logistics manager for Micheldeaver tyres and is in charge of shipping stock round the country to there fitting centres and he always says they struggle for stock.

I run them on all 3 of my cars now, and the Fiat 500 will get them when they are due, incredible tyre, but accept they are bad on a wet track.

Just thought I'd add my tuppence-worth regarding tyres, after a bit of research on the 'net, I've just had a set of Continental's latest SportContact 5p's fitted to the GS. They weren't cheap (£850.00 from my local specialist - Skidz, Falkirk) but instantly the car seemed to ride better and feels smoother than on the P-Zero's previously fitted. Corner turn-in also feels like it has more "bite" than before. Plus as a little added bonus I reckon the tyres look fatter on the rims somehow!! they seem to have a "plumper" sidewall profile/shape than the P-Zero's!!

I don't normally 'do' black cars but when they are clean they are something. Nice GS!
