2015 Pirelli F1 rear tyre.....anyone?

[m33ufo]

I'm sure that this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone have a Pirelli F1 rear tyre they'd like to get shot of? I'm looking for one of 2015 vintage - I'm not particular whether it's a Super Soft, Soft, Medium, Hard, Intermediate or Wet!

I bought a rear 2015 Red Bull wheel a little while ago and feel it would look a whole lot more interesting with the appropriate tyre

Cheers

Does this mean I may have trouble getting hold of one for a 2015 car?

Hadn’t actually considered the potential stinkiness factor. I’ll get used to it

My Dalmatian passed away earlier this year. Such a great character.

Maybe a fitting memorium

Look for a GP2 tyre instead. They are the same size and may some may have escaped into the wild. The alternative is to find a show tyre. When all the assets of the defunct Caterham F1 team was up for sale a couple of years ago they had several show or travel tyres available - they are the correct size and shape but the important internal aspects are different. These might be your best option.

As has been noted several times above the F1 race tyres are all scrapped and none will be available for sale.

Will definitely look into the GP2 option - or if anyone here can point me in the right direction?

I have seen some of the ex show tyres / travel tyres advertised. Also noted that back in 2015 you could buy new F1 tyres direct from Pirelli at 400 Euros a piece.

Can anyone tell me what tyre size I need - 2015 F1 rear wheel?

We have an old wheel from a Williams, choosing a wet weather tyre gave it another look, rather than bland rubber.
It never really smelt at all.. had it for quite a number of years now.

Agreed....although they're even harder to get hold of.

Thanks. I noticed the few on EBay but was hoping not to spend £500!

Have found a few other options ranging from £150 depending upon condition. I’m waiting on a few people to get back to me.

Ha, er maybe show tyres, but not the real thing!

The rear size is 325/660-13, by the way.

Your comment appears as "👍" on my screen so I'm unsure what that means.

Oops....that was a thumbs up on my phone.
