All,
we have a clear update of what is in production and what isn't, your case isn't the only one, other sizes and tyres have been stopped.
Dunlop is clear, they are getting over the problem but this will take time and they have to focus on what they can do in the best possible way, rather than trying to give a poor solution for all type and sizes that they could make.
On the other hand, also know that their GT3 tyres did suffer the same problem a while back ago when they moved the manufacture of these from UK to Germany so this is not just as simple as you would think.
Tooling, compounds, logistics, it is all far from easy but at least they are trying. Not as fast as you want certainly, but here, when talking with manufacturers, we haven't seen anybody willing to step in and produce a cross ply tyre the way Dunlop has been doing for the historic community.
By the way, nothing prevents any Championship through its Supplementary Regulations to allow any sort of tyres they want, the FIA even did it for its own Championships and due to the Dunlop problems.
