Alex...back order question

Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 in 205/45/17 is on back order...but appears to be arriving in a couple of locations by June 23rd. How accurtae is this timing? I love these tires for daily driving and they're very close to the wear bars now.

meb- while you are waiting for Alex to pickup the phone, it might be
a good time to try some Prima Hydro. www.detailersparadise.com

They're not super responsive, but quiet, very comfortable, non-directional, and stick like glue when the pavement is wet...also very grippy in dry.
