New Viggen--Pirelli P6000 stock? 30 psi?

My wife and I picked up our new Viggen yesterday and I was surprised to see that it was delivered with Pirelli P6000's rather than Dunlops. Has anybody else gotten a Viggen shod this way, or is it a really recent change? I was sort of glad to see it, given how much some have complained about the Dunlops--might as well try something else.
My dealer's explanation was this: "We sell so many cars now that we can't rely on just one supplier." He's a really nice guy, but I don't really believe that explanation. How many Viggens do they sell a year--1,000? You could make the tires by hand and keep up with that demand.
They also delivered the car with the tires set at 30 psi all around, which doesn't even correspond to any of Saab's own recommendations. No wonder people are smashing up those 17" rims! I immediate reset it to 38 on the fronts and 35 on the rears.
