Hi there anyone got a suggestion on where to get Michelin Piolet sport 335 x 25 ZR 20 tires from. Had some coming from My Tyres but taken a month and they have now refunded the order as they can't get them. Have new fronts on so want to try and match them up. Thank you.....

Totally understand that/What a PITA? I can't even see any on Ebay Germany (Ebay.de). Wonder if that new version above in the video will be available in the UK/Europe? Keith at Eurovettes could probably buy some in the US for you and get them shipped over?

I bought a pair of Michelin Pilot Sport 5's for the rear aftermarket wheels of my '68 a few weeks ago........and Michelin seem to make the different tyres very confusing. Current models seem to be Pilot Sport 5......then we have Pilot Sport 4 which is an earlier model (but seeming there is a new 'S' version of this. Pilot Super Sport tyres seem to have been around for a few years (and in the 335/25/20 size) - and then there seems to be a 'new' version of this now......perhaps not called Super Sport. Its all rather vague and rather confusing.......
What was really annoying is I'd ordered some from MyTyres, the site said they were in stock and it took 4 weeks to get out of them that they weren't available at all. Will keep hunting and we are seeing if the Pirelli's are available. Have to say for anyone in the South that Ian Goss has been super helpful and v. patient at Ian IGS American who had the car for a service and MOT

One could be forgiven to think that one of the official UK Corvette dealers might have a better idea of what is currently available (but probably won't).
Maybe it's the standard 'state of play' with tyre manufacturers. I had a similar experience recently with Yokohama.........I had settled on one of their well respected street legal track day tyres. Yokohama do (or did) several models of these street legal type of tyre. After several months of faffing around waiting for fresh stocks of the specific size I wanted (and had the best reviews) to be imported into the UK I was told that Yokohama (for some reason of their own) had decided to rationalise their product range and not import the product. I ended-up choosing Michelin who by far have the most comprehensive range of tyre sizes on the market, and sourced them from Elite Direct at Rainham.
