TRTOM2498PI Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Hi Adrian, A lot of the competition cars use Yokohama tyres, but are mostly using a 6.5 / 7j rim. On that basis: Yokohama A048r - 205/60/15. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kevin bryant Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Adrian My TR3A slides about very nicely on Vredstein Sprint Classics. Not particularly fast but a lot of fun. And come along to the Blyton Park test day on Monday 3rd June. A great way to help sort the car and no pressure to perform. regards kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick TR Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 Avons are the only ones that fit. They are about £180 each so expensive but grip amazingly. And wear quite well too. And they are british. They are used by many of the classic E Types and Ferrais you see on the classic race circuit and they swear by them. Its much more fun on hill climbs and sprints with these tyres. Nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JRCWeedon Posted April 24, 2013 Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Hi Adrian I have been sprinting and hillclimbing TRs for the last 25years so know a bit about tyres it is a black art! The sizes are the problem for our cars but anything made by Avon which is list 1b should be OK With Yokos you have to watch that you do not end up with a circuit racing compound it will be too hard. BMTR in Birmingham are very helpful and can supply these tyres but not cheap! Good Luck John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
