Default Help Needed to Source Tyres in the UK

OK guys need some help here. I was supposed to have some new tyres fitted today (special order from Pirelli) but they didn't arrive. The service centre is now telling me that they should be with us next Tuesday, which leaves me only one day between them being fitted and me leaving for the rally. I'm concerned that they might fail to arrive again and then I'm left in the lurch with only 3mm of tread and a 4k journey ahead of me.

I've spent most of the afternoon speaking to various tyre companies and I'm having no luck. Apparently there is a world wide shortage of this tyre.

Pirelli P Zero Rosso
295, 30, ZR 19's

The biggest mistake is to confuse this size with the one on the new 997 Porsche which shares all the sizes, but is only an N rating and not suitable for speeds over 150mph due to the weight of the G.

Is there anyone here who can suggest a place in the UK. I can get them couriered down to the service centre so literally anywhere on the UK mainland is fine. I'll OWE you one big time!

James
