Mark Durrant Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I have sent an update to all Class 5 competitors regarding the availability of the 235 tyres. In respect of 175 and 215 tyres a shipment in all compounds arrives on 10 April, just in time for Goodwood. Mark D Comp Sec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve and casper Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Simon Im looking for some kumhos ecsta v70s for class 4 sprints.Soft or medium compound ? and where could i source for loton Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 All as my original post on this thread. Nothing has changed other than the price £5 per tyre. I'll go and edit this now. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted July 8, 2008 Author Share Posted July 8, 2008 Steve Sorry I guess you need 2 x 175 soft and 2 x 215 soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve and casper Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Simon I may need 4 kumhos for loton.Whats the quickest way of getting these and could you confirm that the soft compound is the one to go for and cost ! Also Im running 6 inch caterham wheels,would 215s work on the back and be better for sprinting/hillclimbs Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Definately softs all round. 215 prime wheel width is 8" listed down to 7". I guess they would fit onto 6" but they are a wide tyre. I would not like to say that they definately will fit. If you need a set the details are and costs are as the first page of this thread and they will be couriered to you direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve and casper Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Simon Thanks for previous advice on the kumhos.Having slipped and skated round Harewood at the weekend on old acb 10s.Im going to take the plunge of getting the kumhos for curborough but have a local supplier who can get them fitted as well for circa £80.There seems to be some discussion on whether they will be eligible next year?Im running a 1800 superlight 160 bhp so will be in class 3 for the rest of the season i reckon. Any thoughts on the issue of eligibility for next year and also am i right in thinking adjusting the front camber to maybe 1.75 degrees as discussed with Malcolm and any toe in?.Im buying the standard 1.5 degree de dion ears for the rear unless anyone has some seconds to sell. !! Cheers for any advice on these points Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'd like to know who and how they are available at that price / size etc as I know the margins Mel is working to with no overheads. Unless its a mate of yours doing it for cost 😶🌫️ However whats this eligibility stuff. Is this MSA or Lotus 7 Club ? 1.75 neg is to little you need 2.5 or 2.75 neg with parallel toe. Are you sure 160bhp is class 3 thought that was R300 trritory and Class 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve and casper Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Simon He is sourcing them direct from kumho i think £79 plus vat for 175 softs.So will need to check out 215sprices .Think Ill stick with 175s all round for the moment He tells me there are two compounds presently.Is that the case?Happy to divulge contact details if it helps Re eligibility ,just heard discussion in the paddock sunday but it may well have been re scudos or even Toyos for next years 7 cship? So kumhos from your point of view may be ok? As for classes,yes it may well be class 4,will check with MD prior to event Thanks for the advice on camber too Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Those prices reflect a profit as I would expect. Unless your chap is a Kumho "motorsport" dealer he won't get them. A road going dealer is unable to get them. Mel supplies to your door the 175's @ £70 incl vat. There are no issues for Kumho's as a 1B tyre to my knowledge. Its important to hear all the facts regarding things that may be excluded prior to making decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers1 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Oh yes sorry there are 3 compounds Soft - sprint Medium -track/road Hard - higher powered cars can use these well on track and they last very well as long as you drive them hard.
