wingnutLP Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 They are not in stock on the caterham site and my fronts need replacing. Are there any other sources or shall I get something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philmorton Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I get mine from Bridge Tyres in Taunton (with a club discount as well). But probably not much use to you if you''re not in the South West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Phone CC and ask - the website stock level may not always be up to date. Discussed this when I visited last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rgds., Steve I have no need just yet was just curious for future purchases. I had great trouble with my Testarossa getting 255/50/16s on the rears, eventually getting a set from America. .

AdeC Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Got one from Avon this week 15" £174 delivered. Very expensive compared to Caterham £136 delivered, but they do not have any in stock ☹️ May be worth getting 2 for the future when they are in stock.

Area Representative bluenose Posted March 9, 2012 Area Representative Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have siad this before, why have Caterham not got any in stock and Avon have loads? Seeing as they are supposed to be manufactured for Caterham exclusively and their manufacturer has them in stock it does seem odd to me?

wingnutLP Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 Hi boris thanks for the mail, I am after 175 55 r13 but thanks for the offer. looks like I will give avon a call. The tyres arent totally dead and are significantly more worn on the inside edge so I am thinking abot swapping them over to the other side to eek a bit more life from them. Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
