Not Ranked
Street / Track Tyre Search
Hi All,
Given many members use their cars at track events, I am hoping someone can help me find an Australian supplier of Yokohama Advan A048 205/60/13 or an equivalent tyre. The 13 inch size seems to be the issue, however a larger size rim will not fit under the car. Has 13x5.5 on rear and 13x6 on the front. I specifically want a track tyre that is street legal so I can drive the car to sprint meetings without having to bundle 4 rims and tyres plus a jack etc into the car.
The local tyre dealers in Cairns cannot source any brand of 13 inch street/track tyre.
I found a 205/60/13 Toyo R888 on the internet from a southern supplier, little expensive. Contacted Tire Rack in the States who stock this Toyo for half the price but the reply from Tire Rack was they are no longer able to export Toyo, Bridgestone or Yokohama banded tyres to Australia.
Also found a Kuhmo V700 track tyre but it is not street legal.
Appreciate any assistance.
