Tyre advice from Longstone Tyres

[Balmoral]

I ordered a set of four Michelin X tyres for my 2CV yesterday, Longstone were the cheapest I could find on-line (for the proper tyre for the car), not just by a bit, but by a lot! They also had free delivery, and the tyres have just arrived.

Good service.

What can you supply in a H rating in 175/70 x R13 road tyre with the emphasis on grip rather than high mileage (I do about two thousand miles a year). Would be a bonus if race legal.

Looking for 205/70/15 whiteband radials to go on a TR6. Yes, they're 'too wide' but it's had that size on 7" Shelby slotmags since 1979.
Currently has BF Goodrich T/A with 1" whiteband, very life-expired.

I see you have Hercules, but these seem not inspiring for a performance car. Are there any other possibilities please?

As this is an old thread from a year or two back, you may wish to contact directly, not sure they look here anymore!

Dougal and family were out and about at the weekend - in a RR Shadow (!?) among other things.

Good point.
So I got onto them direct, and four tyres duly arrived on next day delivery.
Sorted.

Maybe we can get an updated photo in a different car, soft top Renault 5 maybe?

Any idea when the Pirelli 185/70x13 might be back in stock? The web site seems to have been saying the same thing for ages.

You mean the CN36?

I have the CN36 175/70 VR13 on my 1969 Fiat 124 Spider. They work brilliantly, giving the car lots of grip but more importantly loads of feel and feedback.
I wasn't sure whether they would be an improvement over the new modern 175/70/13 Pirellis that were fitted to the car when I first had it, but they really made a significant difference.

Sorry to hear that they're out of stock, but well worth waiting for.

Yes, this is the one I was thinking of: https://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/tyres/185-70-13/1...

I'll just have to go for something else.
