pskhaat....does your family member have an "MSPN" for this tire? I have seen them in my warehouse (Michelin's newest DC) but not sure they are a 16" rim.
I'm currently out of work for a few months but i can make a call and have inventory checked.

Me too
It appears that only the 20 and 22" wheel sizes are available right now (according to my sources at Michelin).

During a quik search i found the following, perhaps it's worth a phone call. I'll have someone at work check on this also.
Not part of the Michelin/MVPA tire deal, but a good find on some 900r16 XZL tires was discovered by Randy on the dodgepowerwagon.com forum. He contacted Bill's tires in Pacheco, CA, (ph 925.689.2678) in March 2002, and found out that he's got about 800 in his stock. He said that would probably last about a month. They are brand new tires (never been used but they have been sitting on a shelf for about 3-4 years) for $165 each plus tax and shipping. On May 22, 2002, Randy reported that Bill's Tire Supply in Pacheco, CA had access to 63 Michelin 9.00 X 16 XL's. These are brand new tires and the price is reported to be $190.00 including the federal tax.

That's about what I heard, 36" x 10" on a 16" rim. Makes my 33x9.50 BFG AT pizza cutters look positively fat!
BTW, check them out on Rovers:

WOW.
And I thought everybody was going bonkers with those BFG 255/85 16 suckers. First person to get these really wins. They're so damn narrow they've only got one row of lugs. Sweet.
