blubarisax Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Ya know Mike, I have a set of 13" bias ply Avon Formula Continental slicks that have never been used that I could let go real cheap! I figured out it's too much work to switch from radials to bias ply. They might be just what you need to stay on the track!!!
yellowss7 Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Thx guys. As you know Karl, I put a hole in the side of one of mine Saturday, while also bending the wheel. First time I ever hit a pile of rocks when sliding off a racetrack. You'd think they wld remove them? Much nicer to just get grass stains on the tire, as I did in a subsequent slide off elsewhere. Of course, even nicer to stay on the track.... Yeah, we are at lunch and sitting with one of the principle owners of the track, who says " I was in the tower watching as you went off in turn 7", and Mike replys, " Which time" :smilielol5::smilielol5:And then procedes to tell him of his other offs on the prior day. Meanwhile, I'm trying to kick him under the table to make him shut up. :deadhorse: Pretty funny. I'm sure they can't wait for your return Mike. :jester: Tom
wemtd Posted November 14, 2011 Posted November 14, 2011 Blatantly off topic... Is an avatar change in order now that you've become fully acquainted with the Birkin?
Kitcat Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I have to revive the: "What happens at NJMP stays at NJMP" concept! Karl, I have 15" wheels (or what's left of them) so cant use your 13" tires, tho more grip is a good suggestion. Paul: yes, time for a new Avatar. Maybe Croc will send me a shot of one of my "offs" to insert in place of my sweet Caterham (wh/never went off at NJMP).
yellowss7 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 Karl, I may be interested in the avon slicks. What width rim are they speced for? I assume it is tires only not already mounted on rims, right? Tom
blubarisax Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Tom, These tires fit 6-8" rims in the front and 8-10 in the rear. I suspect your wheels are way too wide!!!

jlumba81 Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Bump. Any updates on the tire cost and shipment eta?
Guest Terry Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Our next shipment from Caterham arrives in about 3 weeks. We have 10 sets of CR500s on the boat, once we get it all unpacked and figure out the shipping we will get back to you.
Kitcat Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Terry, I need a single tire. Do you sell individual tires, or just in sets of 4? Mike
jlumba81 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 If my wallet can handle the price, I'd like to get 5 tires.
Guest Terry Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 You know you want them! let us know, If any of you guys live near each other we can send a bunch down together, save on shipping.
Kitcat Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Thx, Terry sign me up for a single 195x15. PM me when it arrives and we can arrange payment/shipping etc.
