Martym Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 What is a good road tyre for above size ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Ive used Yoko 21R, not sure if they are still available anywhere/ legal. Reasonable cost, good ground clearance, but occasionally a bit squishy when pressing on on the twisties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby S Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Not quite the same, but I run Yokohama A539 185/60 R13 as everyday road tyres and they are OK - still plenty of warning when reaching limits despite slightly lower profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The Caterham branded Avon CR322s, available from Caterham work for me. They are a slightly softer compound now that they are made in the U.K. rather than China. They're not as grippy as the A021 Yoko, for example, but they do clear a lot of water when it's really wet. The A021 Rs are no longer e marked for road use.Uniroyal RainExpert 3 get good write-ups, and are a softer compound according to reviews, but they are T rated rather than H rated, so it might be worth talking to your insurers before fitting them, as they are not original specification.

Martym Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 the original Michelin MXT`s that are fitted are T rated & I think the Avons are T rated also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 You may be right, in which case no problem. I thought mine were H rated but my Seven is in a paint shop at the moment, so I can't check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
