From SCCAForums - don't know if it is actually true:

Quote:
I call BS. Goodyear does own Dunlop; my local supplier buys from Goodyear and they keep D1's in all popular ST* sizes in-stock and ready to go, with no question on discontinuing or negative availability, other than the size that TireRack has commented on. Call 858-495-9200, ask for Steve and discuss.


Maybe you'll luck out and find some, but there are alot of people looking.

Have you asked Jeb or Mark Cooper to call around?

Edit - more info (on the Z1 Star or whatever the next tire is):

Quote:
What I have heard is that this tire is already on sale in Japan, and will make its way here to replace the original Z1 in about a month (slow boat from the Orient and all of that).

It is a compound-only change, with "more initial grip, but same peak grip", whatever that means.
