Likewise, more than happy with 225 Toyos. Blackcircles for my supply

Toyo have stopped making this tyre in 225/50 15

Hanuman · 12-01-17, 08:47 AM

Well, that sucks. But then, it wouldn't be a classic car without the odd hurdle...

Bit of a big hurdle though isn't it, no tyres. The Lotus Excel boys are in exactly the same boat as us.

yes - the T1R is not available.

The only 225/50 tyre was the Pirelli classic at £250 or so each unless you go for track tyres

I know there's snobbery regards tyres, I'm guilty of it

.........but after looking for tyres I came across Nankang, haven't bought yet but will consider.
None of your 215's but they do a 225?
