There has been a late development. I have just spoken to Michelin again this afternoon and they have found me 4 Pilots as originally fitted - probably one of the last sets available in Oz. I am having them fitted Monday, can't risk losing them. Unfortunately, they are $295 each. Ouch! Directional tyres have a directional tread pattern which is designed to only rotate one way, which is marked on the tyre. If you don't want to go to the trouble of taking them off the rims and refitting, you can only rotate from front to rear, not diagonally. -- Regards, Peter Wilkins
