When I was trying to buy a set of Nokian Z's last Spring, I went to the Nokkian website and had a look at the dealer list.
I called one indy shop, a place that's been in business for years and has an excellent reputation. They simply said that the Z's weren't available.
The next dealer I called said that the tires were "discontinued," and that Nokkian had stopped making them.
The third dealer said that there was no such product in 225/45/R17.
I called Nokkian in Tennessee. They couldn't explain the responses I had gotten. Gave me the name of the local Nokkian distributor. Called him: said he could get the tires, but I'd have to wait 2 weeks and also pay for shipping!
Called parts guy at local Saab dealer, a guy I've known for a long time. Got me the tires, no shipping charges, good deal on mounting/balancing. Same money as online sources and far less hassle.
HTH.
