Feeling guilty now, so did a wee search.

Cheapest I could find £267/ tyre here: http://tyremen.myshopify.com/product...product-search

Any reason behind the must needed 30 profile? A 35 is a more common size & part worns are readily available on eBay if budgeting to see you through the winter.

Thanks alot for the help mate, I called them today and they don't have any stock of ps2's but can get me some by the end of the week for £565 delivered all in, I've rang a few places and they all say Michelin are out of stock till December.

I'm unsure if I'd want to put 35's on as I'd like to stick with the OEM size, is there many people on here that run 35 rears?

Again thanks mate.

Not sure why but Michelin seems to have a habit of reducing supply towards the end of the year - they must reduce factory output or something?

I tried to get a pair of front Cups a month ago and that was a painful - gave up in the end and managed to grab a pair of part-worns instead.

Have you tried Elite? They normally have stock or can get them within a few days.

Im guessing you are getting fairly low on tread & its your daily runner. I would either:
1. bite the bullet and get 8mm of fresh 30 profile rubber to plow through all the snow your going be riding on.
2. buy a set of cheap BMW 18s with decent rubber on them to get through the wet and wild.
3. buy a set of part worn 35 profile and meanwhile keep eyes peeled for preferred 30 profile ready for next year.

Yeah Elite are quoting the same price as tyreman mate but are showing stock, I might ring them tomorrow to confirm.
