That is not the case for the HR rated tyre.

This is important because it is the racers necks on the line with this and saftey is important.

Supply of the HR rated Rosso shouldn't be a problem next year, as I currently understand it.

Before anyone starts on it I am not aware of any good reason to move away from Pirelli tyres!
