Can anyone please recommend good alternative tyres for an M12 3R (as wide a choice as possible would be appreciated)? The car is used almost entirely on the road and I am quite happy with the Bridgestone Potenza S0-3s, but have been told that - apparently - the front tyres are not made any more (my current location is central Europe).

I've found references to these on the web:

Pirelli P-Zero Rosso (factory recommendation, it seems - Simon Hucknall's)
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

btw, can anyone enlighten us about just what's going on at Noble? Have read a bit about the current financial intrigue. Have mailed the factory using addresses that worked before, but haven't received any replies; that's surely a little worrying for owners...

I've been running pirelli rossos and I'm getting great mileage and all the grip I need. Not even scary in the wet! And reasonably priced

Ive had Goodyr F1 for about a 1000 miles well happy with them and you really can lean on them in the corners and nail it hard so much better than the Bridgestones i took off.
