TYRE PROBLEM!

[hotwire]

Can't believe it....! Got puncture in side wall of rear tyre. Have had it temporarily fixed but have to get a replacement. At present I have Bridgestone S01's with plenty of tread left on them. Only problem, even with lots of numbers to ring, nobody can get SO1's.

Question I have is what should I go for? Obviously I am going to have to replace both the rear if I go for a different make, and looks like this is going to be the case because of the non-existent S01's. I have been told that Toyos are too soft on the tyre wall, so suggestions needed as to what I should go for. S03's were mentioned but they don't appear to do them in my tyre size.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

My next tyres on the Chim are going to be Eagle F1s, the Toyos are supposed to be OK but need a 1000 miles or so before they are any good. SO3's I've heard a few unhappy reports about but neither make I've used so can't comment from actual experience.
I have however used Avon ZZ3's and they are IMHO extremely good. I know Corin (Bomber Denton) also has the same opinion and he's in the tyre trade.
