Default Contisilent 265/40/20?

My F1's are starting to wear low and I am looking for new tires, my tyre man says there are Contisilent in my dimension but there is no stock. Anyone know if Continental are planning the silents in our tire dimensions?

Talked to Conti in Sweden and production will start in May so I have ordered a set of 265/40/20.

Yes they were a bit expensive, around 33% more than the std f1's or conti sc 3's. If it was possible to buy them online they would probably only be 10-15% more than the std conti ones. I had to preorder with a traditional reseller so the price was sort of inflated...

I'm curious to know how well they work. My F1's are probably on their last summer and I'd like to know if it's worth the extra expenditure to get them.
