Michelin CrossClimate tyres - where can I buy a set?

I see you commented favourably on the new Michelin CrossClimate recently, which I'm pleased about as I am interested in these tyres to replace my current Dunlop winters before the end of this year. I have checked with my local supplier but they are not showing these as stocked in the size I want (245/40 ZR18 (97Y) XL).
Is this because they do not intend to make them in this size or simply that the tyre is still new and they a building stocks?

Go to the Michelin website, input your car details, and you can find out if they make them that size. I can't do it just from the tyre size. Alternatives are Nokian Weatherproof and Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons.
