Did you know if you have a 997 you have no chance of getting any rear tyres at the moment due to michelin did not make enough so pirreli ran out ect ect. So apparently if you have michelins on the front and you need backs they are payin 900 compinsation

Bet they're not paying compensation for my 996 though... desperately need rears and am struggling to find any (long ago given up on the GSD3s I have on the front, but now having trouble finding anything!)

nationwide Problem

I've even spoken to Pirelli,

You can guess the reaction from the call centre

They offered to rush some by air-frieght direct from Italy and for free to compensate for cars being off the road??? :wink:

I have a set of continentals, which I was keeping for a rainy day but if someone is desperate they may get your car back on the road. Problems is the rears are already quite low - 2.5mm at the lowest.

I'm not selling it yet, I just might when I find the right car, not until then.

Yikes,Im down to about 4mm on the rears.I was offered a pair of rear Michelins a couple of months ago.If anyone is absolutely desperate then message me and I will tell you who had them(cant guarantee they are still there now though).I only do a tiny mileage in my car so even though my rears are quite low they will last me a good while yet.

I had a puncture recently. No Michelins in the country. So had to ring aroung the OPC s. eventually found OPC at Ellesmere Port had ONE by chance!!
