Winter tyres advice

I am a Vredstein winter tyre convert, have always used them and trust their handling especially driving in the Alps. My present Vredsteins are worn. I cannot source 235/60 R18 Vredstein extreme S anywhere in the UK at present. Can you suggest where I could get them? or an alternative tyre make/model that will do the job as good?

I've just had a set of Michelin Cross Climates fitted 2 hours ago. But for full cold weather tyres Nokian WR SUV3s get the nod. I've driven the WR D4s in the Arctic Circle on RS4s and RS5s and even there you've got to do something stupid to unstick them. The correct SUV tyres are 235 60 R 18 107 V XL. The UK supplier is www.nordiccartyres.com/
