I can't recall where I saw the post, but someone remarked that most European customers do not use all season tires, and usually switch between summer and winter sets. To stock different sizes in not just all season, but an ultra performance all season probably complicates production when its just for North American customers. Also with all season tires, which specific tire has which top speed probably also complicates the situation.

I'm just grateful we can order non run-flat tires from the factory.
