Has anyone heard or had any dealings with these guys? Looking at getting some fresh rubber for my 420r but supplies are getting very low.

Not a Caterham but I use MRF ZTR's on my Mazda NC1 Turbo when I'm on track.
I've found them to be a very capable tyre with excellent dry weather grip. I've not tested them in wet conditions as I usually put my road tyres/wheels on when raining.
A lap or two ensuring they're warmed up then send it without issues for me.
An excellent tyre.

This post is just for clarity; it is not a run of the mill ZTI2 tyre, although the tread pattern is the same.

We've introduced and developed an MCMM compound ZTI2 tyre specific for Caterhams and our Championship. The key requirements were that they be E4 rated, road legal with a balanced wear rate, quicker and more consistent on track than those benchmarked. We carry stock of 185/60 R13 and 205/60 R13.

Hi - I am looking for something to replace my fairly worn our rear 13" Avon ZZS's. I have a few questions though:

1) Are they available in different compounds or just the MCMM compound?
2) Would it be ok to run them with my almost new front ZZS's? I don't want handling/compatibility issues.
3) Are they available without the awful white lettering - just normal black?

Cheers, CycleSi

Just the developed MCMM compound from us.

We have no data on that, I can't advise either way.

Not white, but they are branded with a red & white logo.
