I have heard of people buying inspection stickers but have not ever done so. My vehicles are in good condition and pass inspection. But now that vehicles are registered in Delaware, it's state inspection stations.
Can't Get My Michelins

My wife has already rashed the right front wheel. Thank goodness I know a guy that can make them rashes disappear. Monday at 11 am.
HAHA. You definitely are confused. Like I said, the particular Michelin tires I wanted are unavailable. Michelin had no availability
time as of yesterday and no idea as to when they would be available. My dealer even looked and other distributors but to no avail.
Anyhoo, I'll be feeling those Continentals about 12:30 tomorrow if all goes as planned.
All this talk and you still haven't told us the Michelin tire model nor the size.
Just to give you a little background.
This has become my wife's car. She has abandoned the GX470 unless the Grandkids are involved.
She drives it every day to work.
Our son was in a very bad wreck and in some weird way driving this car (his old car)
brings her some degree of comfort. I sorta get it. This was his car that he sold to us as he can't really use it any more
and he needs the money.
It sat in our driveway for 2 years after the wreck. Of course, this car was not involved in the wreck.
I bought it for her. I want it on the road for her. I love my wife and want her to be at peace. If driving
our son's old car contributes to her well being, I'm all for it.
Some people are so quick to judge without having all the facts. Bless their hearts...

And your point is what, exactly? Why do you need to know the model and size? What are you gonna do?
If you have read my posts, you should know that the tire I want is unavailable. That is all that matters.
North of you it's all done via paper, no computers at all. Scan the OBDII with a tool of your choice then fill out a chit of paper with the results. Mail it back with the empty sticker stub book when you get around to it.
Just curious which Michelins are so impossible to get.
You started this thread lamenting how you can't get it, yet you never told us what it actually was.
LOL. My BLT is ready.
I just ordered a set of Michelins from
Costco - their price after promo beat out a set of Yokohamas at America’s Tire I was looking at.
They said 5-10 business days. My size is increasingly becoming Chineseium-only.

Seems odd that the OP suggests supply chains issues because he had to buy another brands high performance A/S tires since his normal Michelins aren't available yet Michelin (Summer and HP A/S) are in fact available for the vehicle in question.
VA amended their inspection laws and police are no longer allowed to pull people over for expired inspection stickers of less than 4 months. On a technicality you could have waited for your Michelins and then passed inspection, unless it was going to be more than 4 months wait?
Title 46.2. Motor Vehicles
law.lis.virginia.gov
The rear tires that match my front tires are not available and they have no future production date info.
The only thing that seems odd is your reading comprehension. LOL
Well, I got the Continentals and I can definitely tell a difference although that might by a psychological bias or something
like that. I'm sure someone here will help diagnose my mental issues....
Anyways, the biggest difference is the sidewalls seem to be softer on the Conti's. When I steer hard right or left is seems
the rear has to catch up. I don't mind it. Just different. Conti's seem to be softer. Michelins are crisper. Since I don't have
as much flesh in my buttocks as I used to have, I sorta like the softer ride. The Conti's are quieter but they are brand new so
I really can't compare the two at this point. Probably be a year or two before I will know how they sound worn down. Now this
next point may be one of those psychological bias perceptions, I don't know. It does seem over different textures of asphalt that
I can feel more in the steering wheel with the Conti's. IDK??
Bottom line, I am no longer depressed. I am satisfied. I think I'll make some popcorn and watch a Blacklist. It really is true that all
things work together....
