Have recently bought an Imp for club racing (probably HRDC) trouble is the tyres are like rocks being 7 years old and HP tyres have had my size on back order with Dunlop for 2 months now. Sorted the rest of the car out and now need to get out testing as a precursor to racing it. Not HP tyres fault the problem lies with Dunlop. HP have kindly offered me a some part worns so I can at least got testing but they only have 3 ( 4.50 M13 CR 65)

So I'm just wondering if there is anybody out there with a spare 4.50 M13 CR 65 they would be willing to sell me. I think that size fits the Lotus Cortinas too, so HP tell me.

Many thanks,

Keith

Visited HP tyres today to pick up the part worns. They explained the problems over the switch to Portugal so there goes another bit of the UK manufacturing base. I reckon it will take at least to the end of the year to sort that lot out.

Tried Longstone no luck. Going to post on the Imp club and try Allen and Page.......
