Frolic Tyres

Post by C7Steve » Wed Jul 08, 2015 8:17 am

Has anyone looked where to get ZZRs for the Frolic yet?

I thought I would ask before I started looking myself.



Cheers,

Steve.

I got my last lot direct from Avon but I'm also looking at a new set for the trip. I just can't remember who fitted them!

And they're still the same price as last year which is nice. :)

Unless you are driving something with mega power, 1 set should do the trip. The Atom managed it and I was brutal with it. Fire on a new set before you leave, and relax

I just fitted Avon ZZ5's a few hundred miles back. Craig is optimistic they are harder than the usual Pirelli, so I hope they'll see me through.

Camskill, good price, prompt delivery.

Elise sizes?

If so fronts are £134 each and rears £172 each including VAT and delivery. :thumbsup

The 2-11 is still on last summer's SpaZ set and also done Oultwell and Croft! :shock:
(OK not much left on the rears)

For Frolic I'll be ordering full new set from Avon and probably someone in Edinburger to fit...

I just phoned Avon Motorsport and they have quoted me £138.40 each for the fronts and £196.70 each for the rear tyres. Plus vat of course.

BMTR are the same price; http://bmtrracing.com/lotus-on-track/

Hi Steve, you think we could organise a group buy of them? think quite a few people will be looking to order so maybe we could sort a discount?

Sounds like a plan.

I need 2 rears for N3 as the 2 it came with were an advisory on the MOT so i smoked them :-)
