Just the joys of manufacturing things in batches without making too many and have them sitting around.

I had a similar issue last April. Couldn't get Michelin Energy Saver + in 185/55 R15 (in either H or V and when they had cashback on too >:( ) Was told 4-6 weeks. Ended up getting them in June. Cost me 440 yoyos. (£358)

I somehow put my musings on another post. The joys of age:

I spoke to my Man about the Michelin Energy Saver Plus. He looked up prices around and his price was the cheapest. £102 each. I asked about Bridgestone/Pirelli/etc and he just said, they may be a few quid cheaper BUT if you can afford the Michelin go for them. So on the phone he gets and he is told the 185/55 16 are on back order!!! I have a provisional date of February 12 next. So either Michelin didn't make many in this size OR they are becoming popular.
Finding £408 is a bit eye watering but I hope they will be worth it. Watch this space.
I strongly doubt the Michelin would be significantly better than the Dunlop I mentioned.

I got my Dunlop fitted for £62 a corner,  which would save you £160.
