Tires / Tyres / Tired - SPF

[PANAVIA]

Guys,

Steve Here, --So I have SPF 2734 on its way to me and it came with (comes with) Badyears GT2's. I noticed that others are running Yoko AVIDs but they are no longer available in distribution. I contacted Michelin's Customer services ( USA ) and asked if they had anything in anywhere close that size, or if i could custom order something, in a pilot sport/exalto -- they were un interested in helping the least little bit.

I dont want to put 16"s on the car, (keeping 15"s) and I feel Avons are just nutty for a street car.

so the question is, -- have we thought about approaching the Mfr Yoko and ordering a batch of Yoko Avids for us>? what other tire options are out there in HR/VR land >? Lemmie hear your thoughts.

Cant wait till 2734 gets here.

--Steve.

PS: An Update / 05-28-2008, I spoke to a rep at Yoko Coporate (LA) and they are looking into bringing some sizes of the Avid H4s' and V4's Back into production, this should be easier than you think , as they were MADE IN USA. they are also looking to extent their reach into the vintage car market, supporting original mini coopers and more 1960's cars. The thinking is that the guy who buys for his vintage car, also probably has a fleet of family vehicles to keep running. --More news as it happens.
