source for 245 45 16 for 16x9 Fuchs?

I've been running Bridgestone RE11s for a few years and really like them but need new ones. Several stores are telling me Bridgestone no longer makes this tire/size. Has anyone found this size recently?

What is available in this size? Tire rack only has one choice but its really a track tire.

Pirelli P Zero Rosso is available in that size

I have a spare pair of "new" RE11s in 245/45/16 if you need them. They are date coded October 2015 so have 3-4 years left on them

You also may want to consider the Michelin SX MXX3 available at Coker Tires (no affiliation). They carry only the sizes that were the right fit for my 1988 Turbo Look's 16" rims, which include the 245/45-16 rear tires. They also are N2 rated for Porsches. I put a set on my car last summer and so far have been very pleased. I previously had the same Bridgestone RE11's that you have now.
