Alternate Tire to Michelin in 150 60 R17?

I have a long trip in a couple of weeks and could use some new rubber on my rear. All pavement on my 1200GS that takes a 150 60 R17 tire.
I usually run whatever Michelin is appropriate (Road 6 would be the current) but all options seem to be out of stock, including past models that I've run.

So, what's a comparable tire that is in stock somewhere that I can run on the rear.

Thanks for the help,
Dan
 
You might try Sierra BMW, they'll ship them to you, they have the Michelins on sale for your size. Have had good success in getting tires from them in a timely manner.

Double check for your year, I believe most 1200 GS take a 150 70 R17 tire. I ordered a 150 60 by mistake, and it will fit but is smaller in diameter .

Well, thanks all for trying.
Sierra definitely does not have the tire.
I do know how to search for sizes and tires on the Internet. Was really looking to see what other people who can't find this tire are doing.
It's a 2016 R1200gs (listed in my signature) and definitely takes a 150/60 R17

I guess I'll just pick whatever the shop has and ride it. Was just trying to see what others who like this tire (I've ridden each/current version of this Michelin back to the 4 for the last 6 years now so am quite partial) are doing since this tire has been unavailable for a couple months now.
