Delberts Wallet Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Did anyone find any decent alternative to RE720 while at the Motor show? Looks like I may be going down the Falken route (502's or 512's) if no one can come up with anything better Gareth Blue and Carbon 6 Speed Supersport lots of Caterham piccies here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Nope. Spoke to Toyo - the only thing they came up with was a 1B - the R888 due out next monthish (in 13" - already available in other sizes). I meant to ask Kumho, but forgot.

Sandy Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I always thought Stunners were 'budget' tyres? Its not the days in your life ..........But the LIFE in your days!! ;0)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Perry Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 They are but when I looked at them last year I could only get 15 inch. Has that changed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Plato Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I'm not sure what sizes they are , but some very experienced National 1a users were discussing tyres and these were compared against the old SO2's .

Graham Perry Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 After a quick websearch It would appear that the stunners are newly available in 13 inch in their 'Torneo' range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigYin Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Before you get too excited have a good look in your Blue Book. They're marked as being possible deletions from 1A ☹️ They are very sticky though. Will Hall has allegedly been using them on his hillclimbing Westie to good effect.

Jason Plato Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 I thought the * meant they were OK for this (2005) season , but may be deleted next year ?

BigYin Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Blue Book 2005 R1.1.3 - Tyres marked with an asterisk in Lists 1A & 1B may be removed from the lists w.e.f. 31.12.04. (Details in official bulletins) That may not be a lot of help (in fact it's pretty bl**dy useless for people preparing cars for '05) but that's what it says!
