Default Source for Michelin Synchrones?

Does anyone have a source for 235/70/16 Synchrones? I've tried all the usual sources, web searches, etc., etc. So, does anyone know where I might find this out-of-production size?

Thanks.

Jack.

look at my post and find the title " range rover websites ", there are a ton of websites that you check out....but first try atlanticbritish.com.....or do what i did...go to multiple used tire shops and purchase them from there. you may have to go to about 7 or 8 of them to find that tire.....i had to go to about 7 of them in order for me to get all 5 of the 205 80 r16 michilen XPC tires....good luck on your search

Why do you want the 235/70 Synchrone? Are you matching a tire or buying an entire set? If you are buying an entire set why not get a better tire, especially if you are going to pay that much? Go with a BFG AT 245/70-16 or taller but narrower 225/75-16. Just some suggestions.

Thanks. I've had good performance from the Synchrones on my 2003 HSE and am looking for a set for my 89 RRC. Actually, I just need 2 now.

Thanks, but neither of those dealers has the tire. In fact, Discount Tire was a pain to deal with. They showed the tire on their web site (it has since been removed) and then canceled my order becasue the date code was more than 2 years. I told them I'd take them as is and not register the warranty card with Michelin. They didn't even reply to my email.
