The Macs are gone here. Can't find one on a ring around locally.

I'm told they have been/will be replaced by something else from Michelin in the 400/18 but they're not yet in Oz.

ME77 is $130.

Monza Imports does Bridgestone and locally Peter Stevens is them.

I believe the michelin 'pilot activ' is the replacement. I think I heard that two years ago.....
Pablo's said they were expected in 5-6 weeks.
The time delay in introducing the replacement tyre is just enough for people to find a different brand to run with.

The July / August issue of Old Bike Mag has a reasonable feature which attempts to list what is available in Oz in road tires in sizes that would suit old bikes/airheads.

I have the 3.25-19 front but am backordered on the 4.00-18 rear at present from AMT. They expect it any time now.
