New Tires for my 430

Hello all, I've been on a long hunt for the original replacement rear tires that came on my '01 clk430, Michelin mxx3's. I've been told the tires have been out of production for sometime but MBZ had been using them through the late 01'MY. Unfortunately I've not been able to locate them anywhere and my fronts are still 70% good. I decided to order four new Bridgestone S03's anyone have any experiances with either finding the older mxx3s in 245 40 17 or driving with the new S03's?

Thanks

Forget the old MXX3s, go for the S-03s. I just got them in the front and am awaiting the rears- they're fantastic tires; better than AVS Sports, and a million times better than P-Zeros.
