I have been lookign since July of 2008, please let us know if you get an answer. I was originally told it was because Michelin moved their 18" production facility and never bothered firing it up again.

I've tried everywhere, can't find any. If anyone has a connection at Michelin or knows of any around lets know. I've called Michelin and they say they are discontinued and don't know of any at there distributors. JD

I just picked up a beautiful set of 18" CCW corsairs (11" front and 13" rear) in gloss black powdercoat last year. I just don't want to have to buy a pair of 19"s too.

Maybe I should just bolt in a trailor hitch...
