Yeah, this is ridiculous. Looks like I?m just going to have to get anything I can right now.

So, it looks like the BFG is on BO (rears) as are the Toyo 888's. They are still making them but DCT doesn't have a date they will be available. I can get the Pirelli's in about a week but the fronts will be P Zero Assymetrico's and the rear will be P Zero's. The tread pattern is the same but the ASM have a little stiffer outside wall if I'm understanding correctly. I never mix tires but this may work if the tread pattern is the same.
Thinking about ordering the Continental Extreme Contact but it's a summer tire and I don't want to think about the temp outside if I want to drive my car. Still looking...

UPDATE: I went ahead with the Toyo 888s as nothing else was available. OMG, these are the stickiest tires I have ever owned. They have outrageous cornering capability. Beyond what I am willing to test on the street at this stage of my life. With a tread rating of 100 I don't expect them to last long but the second I put them on all my vibration issues went away so I really don't care. Now, I can start looking for a more permanent solution in more of a HP touring tire.

I do not know if better or worse 8 months later. I changed to 18s with hopes of better options, but now it seems more options for the 17s. I ended up just going with Nitto NT555G2 front (275/35) and NT555RII rear (335/30). Others were either back ordered or ridiculous cost (Pirellis and mismatch) or wait for shipping by surface mail with TireRack for Continental. I ordered through Jegs with Racer Discount and $100 savings with special and free shipping $1,190.
