I'm not sure about this.  Pirelli no longer maintains local country stocks, and 
there is no fixed production plan.  I've been told, however, that Pirelli will 
continue to make "batches" indefinitely as long as demand continues, albeit at 
a low level.  I asked the UK's Pirelli distributors what that meant, and they 
said that delivery lead times could be as long as six months.
