SWMBO collected a screw in one of the Michelins, about 1/2" in so may not be repairable. Damaged tyre is in the boot of my car and search starts tomorow morning.

Anyone found michelins near Solihull/Castle Bromwich?

Tyre is repairable - thank god.

On the tyre supply side Emma at Listers Audi in Coventry knows where there is at least one Michelin. If anyone needs one give her a call.

Spoke to Michelin Customer Service this morning and will be expressing my views to them later - if they cannot support an advertised tyre size then I will not use Michelin again.

Oddly enough the other asymetric tyre of this size is the Continental Premium Contact and no one has them either.

Response from Michelin - Oddly enough the disclaimer says that these are not necessarily the views of Michelin PLC!!

"Dear Mr Johnson

Thank you for your recent e-mail.

We are sorry you are experiencing supply problems and can only see any improvement coming in early August with no indication of quantities and later deliveries. Audi UK are believed to have some of the tyres so we would suggest you contact your local Audi dealer to try and scource the tyre through them.

We have allocated your message the reference number TCB-050704-6. If you need to contact us again regarding your message, we would be grateful if you could include this reference number.

Once again thank you for your interest in Michelin.

Yours sincerely
Webmaster.

Just spent 5 days at the home of Michelin - Clermont-Ferrand France. The hotel was next to the factory, but I never saw anything actually leave despite the place having a strong smell of burning rubber! The factory had a shop, but it didn't sell tyres, just lots of tat with Bibendum (Micheline man) on and their map range.
