Tyres - getting your A021R's
Discussion
Getting hold of a pair of Yoko A021R's has been a slog if you dont know where you are going. I had a lovely conversation with Camskill after me asking for them...
me: I need a price on 2 X Yokohama A-021Rs in 205/60 R13 rated 87H
Them: Yokos are not made in that size. The only people who make that size are in the link.That size of tyre is getting hard to come by
me: are you sure?
Them: I am. i have spoken to various suppliers and this tyre is no longer imported into the UK as the demand is so small,Yoko only make this in a motorsport size.The last ones of these were sold about 3-4 months ago and was the last of the stock in Britain,You may be lucky and get a tyre company that has some on the shelf,But i would be doutful.
So I call www.polleymotorsport.co.uk/ and they are on there way here in time for the weekend. Cost vary massively too; I had a quote of over £100 from Just Tyres - Polley was close to 60!!
So there you have it. "Buy what we have" not "buy what you want/need" is my impression from the tyre industry over the last day or so.
