The tyre sizes listed by Bridgestone do seem to be available in the UK at around 200 squid a pair.
This is kind of interesting....

That sounds like an "I am not going to suggest any tires if there is not a direct listing for your model because I do not want to be responsible for an incorrect fitment argument" answer....... they sent me a slightly confusing reply ??
Pete's is a bout a half hour drive from me. If you are really stuck and can't find an answer or what you need, send me all of the information and the questions that you want answered. I'll drive out there and have a chat with him on your behalf. Maybe once your dilemma is fully explained and understood he will be more willing to offer a suggestion.Yes I agree Andrew, and I realize he doesn't know I'm not that kind of customer (social media, mostly IMO, this site excepted)

I'd put my money on the diameter being the most important feature, and somewhere you can't cheat at all.I would think that the width of the rim would be the most important aspect of choosing a tire, as some lists comments such as “will fit” and list comments as best fit etc.
That was my point with rim diameter.I'd put my money on the diameter being the most important feature, and somewhere you can't cheat at all.
A slightly wider or narrower tire than specified might not be ideal but will work if not excessive. If the tire diameter does not match the rim diameter, it either isn't going on or it isn't going to hold air.
I'm confused now. In your post that I responded to (below) you wrote that rim width is the most important criteria.Which is why I said rim diameter is more important than tire info.
