Thanks for that info Ben - I had no idea they were discontinued. I think the Control Tyre class may have to be refined to include a range of comparable tyres with a similar UTQG rating.

The KU36 do age OK though - last year was my 3rd Nats with the same tyres and they seemed as good as they were at the 1st. They will be about 5 years old this year and should last at least one more nats. They are a bit tricky in the wet. I have a set of KU39's they were a bit better in the wet, but 3-4 secs slower around wakefield.

No Shelbyfest for me this year, but am determined to get my hardtop fitted so I can drive down in 2016.

Cheers
