jimc Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Need to replace rear tyres on my '93 "7", (1700 X/Flow). Currently have Michelin MXT 185/70 R13 all round but these are no longer avail. Local tyre dealers unhelpful and claiming size difficult to obtain. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 28, 2003 Support Team Share Posted August 28, 2003 If you want normal road tyres then everyone seems to use either Yokohama A539 or Bridgestone RE720. If you want something a bit stickier then try Yokohama A021R's from George Polley here for about £45 a corner for the same size as you have now. These are race tyres that you cannot get from your average Yoko dealer but they are DOT approved and road legal - they are also excellent in the wet so make a good all round tyre. I am on my second set. You will obviously need to replace all 4 tyres. Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted August 28, 2003 Support Team Share Posted August 28, 2003 Oh - and if you want the Caterham option then get Avon CR500's either from Caterham or direct from Avon. These are very good but are expensive and also very low profile (175/55R15) so you may end up with ride height issues. Shaun Yellow SL #32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
