Yokohama A032R Info plea

Posted By : Jon Low, 21-Aug-2005, 09:55am

Chaps,

Hope to have the poor old Spit back ready for Mallory on Sunday - getting back in the saddle and all that, car with new rear end now.

However, one of my A032R tyres has decided to have a split in the sidewall - kaput. As these are now no longer currently supplied by Yokohama, anybody have a used/new 165/60/13 going spare? Or where is the best bet to get a single item, can't run to a set of A048's yet!

Cheers,

Jon low

Hi Jon, do you mean 185/60/13 (not 165)?

I only have one desperatly flatspotted A032 off a wheel, really no good but if desperate......

The new 48's don't really handle that different, so you can run a pair on the rear with 32 fronts, I did so at Pembrey. Or I reckon you could even get away with just one 48 on the rear right as Mallory is pretty easy on that one anyway.

If all else fails. you can borrow whatever I'm not using for the race. I have a set of soft 48's I'll use if its wet, or medium 32's if dry (all on wheels). I can only use one set at a time, so as long as the wheel nuts fit, borrowing one (or two) should be fine.

They'll be on my trailor at Mallory so the're there for you whatever.

Great news you're rebuilt.

Cheers
Andy

  I have a pair of hardly used 38's on wolfrace (I think) alloy rims. (Soft compound)
  
  The white ones on the rear in this picture...
  
  You're more than welcome to borrow them if you're stuck. Give us a shout if you do and we'll sort out collection/delivery (I've a feeling we're in roughly the same part of the UK (SE)) Email is on the website (www.richyrichracing.com)
  
  In other news, my ace new engine is being fitted this week

        Hey NiG, my 32's on the back are a bit thin, can I use your 48's for Mallory.

        Of course you can Rich, but I don't think the Escort is allowed and it's not very competative, it has got a small turbo though.

        Dear All,
        
        Just a quick note to say how surprised and heartened by the offers of support regarding tyres from various people. Although I am on the budget side of racing, it shows the camaraderie in the club when people are prepared to help out those that are not race regulars.
        
        Car still not quite finished off yet, but should be there Sunday. Please give me a bit of space when you are all passing me, paint still wet!

        Jon, I wouldn't describe you as 'not a race regular', you've been with us for many years now and I'm extremely glad that you are keen to continue your racing with us.
