HeMan Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I need a full set of new tyres, ideally ZZS 195/50R15, for my 620S, but I have been running around all day trying to find a set (or any!).I know Avon is shutting up shop in the UK, but I was under the impression that wasn't until later this year...Does anyone know where you can get them from (In the Guildford - Reading area)?Or failing that, what is everyone else moving to? R888 (although my tyre place tells me they can't get them as they are not a registered motor-sport place of some such)?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamC Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Caterham have them in stock?https://caterhamparts.co.uk/zzs/6975-tyre-avon-zzs-195-50r15-17020m-compound.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 I bought mine direct from Avon and had them delivered. There's a contact number on the benefits page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony P Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 If you wanted to go the Toyo route, try Adams & Page in High Wycombe. In the past I've found them very good (often the best) on price and on service too (and they know how to take good care of your wheels).I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeMan Posted September 14, 2023 Author Share Posted September 14, 2023 Just a quick update...It was Caterham's new dealer (HWM) who said they didn't have enough in stock at the moment (only 2), but I guess they may not be hooked up to the full Caterham stock yet... So I called Avon direct with the number in the member offers section and spoke to sales, who said the tyre was not available! I even asked if their motorsport division might have it and was told the computer says no!But out of desperation I called their motorsport division myself and sure enough, they do have stock So, the take-home from this is ask specifically for their motorsport department, not sales!And it appears they can only sell the tyres to motorsport fitters (he mentioned BMTR in Birmingham and another I didn't catch the name of near Bath, so there are not many it seems!) otherwise they will ship them direct to you and you can take them to your fitter of choice...
