What a ridiculous decision by Morgan.

Sounds like owners will be forming a syndicate to pool resources and persuade a tyre manufacturer to make a fresh batch in around seven to eight years time when Morgan have ceased production. It won't be tenable for MMC to hold tyre stocks.

Most aircraft tire manufacturers will make small batches of unusual size tires if needed, aircraft have very long service lives and their tires take quite a beating...

M3W owners have a handful of front tire choices. I got my replacement set, from Duro, off Amazon. Best of luck to you Super 3 guys only getting tires through Morgan. That is more than a little bit crazy. But then again Morgan installed a terrible 1980s Range Rover fuel pump in the M3W. And they probably carried that same pump through to the Super 3. So nothing really surprises me anymore.

Surely availability of replacement tyres is something to take up with dealers...if this is a Morgan-only sourced item then prospective buyers should get a rock solid assurance that their dealer will have stock to supply and not be beholden on rapid supply from Morgan. Our experiecne is that we always seem to need "Morgan only" items just as the factory is going on summer shutdown....
