Where is the best place to purchase and whats the comparisons like?

Say standard S1 sizes, 48s/ZZR?

the ZZR are only available direct for the Motorsport Division, so Julian is unable to get them.

Will try and send the link over when i get online later.

There are quite a few using them on Frolic, so will have feedback soon. I have a set to be fitted and can tell you that they look good, very stiff constuction, more so than the 048,s.

Will need some fresh boots for SpaZ SnetWell.

The ZZR's still direct from Avon?

Yes - give Chris a call.

Definately superb wear wise (they are lasting about 10 times longer than A048's on the Atom), although Stu has been raving recently about the Yoko AD08R?

Jolly good, Keith threw in a spare set of Exige wheels with almost new ZZR's on them, so they will do me nicely for Spazz.

Present wheels have R1R's on which seemed pretty good at KH.

So who's using these as a road tyre? Getting sick of the cost of AD07s on Elaine's car and given it's not really used too much in the rain now, do these represent an alternative that gives track-spec grip and road tyre longevity for a decent cost?

Also - do they do the fronts in a 195 that would fit the S2 standard width rim?

Shug, have you tried the place in France for AD07's, they're much cheaper apparently.
