I have recently spoken with Yokohama myself, and they tell me that there are
plenty of Y370s in stock.

They did describe them as Y370G though.

Ask Yokohama to check the above model numbers.  Your contact there may have
just been a little confused about what you wanted.  Also the Tire Rack should
also have these in stock and at a very low price

You can also check with my contact at Yokohama, who is very familiar with this
tire, as well as the Y356 tire.  Mike Mock, at 800-241-7051 ext. 123

Hope this helps.
