Bridgestone S03PP no longer available for 245/45ZR16?

[JonRB]

Sorry for the cross-post, but I know that not all Griff owners check the Chimaera forum.

Is anyone else having problems getting Bridgestone S03PP in 245/45ZR16?

Hi Jon, I posted some time ago that a friend of mine is setting up a tyre business. I noticed a cry for help for a certain tyre and asked if he could get them. he apparently could get the size in question in Bridgestone SO3's and SO2's.
If your interested in giving him a whirl drop me an e' and I'll give you his mobile.

I too was looking for the same size tyre a month ago. Bridgestone no longer make the SO3 in that size, infact, they no longer make any tyre in that size. The SO2's are Porsche fitment and not suitable for TVR's (unless they are SO2 PP's) and the SO3's will be old tyres. The only tyres made in that size are Toyo's T1-R and a Japan racing bread Falacon tyre. I went for the toyos all round as my fronts needed replacing too. Very happy with them, except they need a good few miles to bed-in and you need to run them on a higher pressure due to softer side walls.

Good luck.

I have Falkens on the rear and they're fine IMHO.
