I'm running Bridgestone SO3's which seem in plentyful supply...

In the past I've used Goodyear Eagle F1's and Toyo Proxes both of which were good tyres. Of the two I would prefer F1's, they offered better alround grip and lasted a few more miles...

At some point they changed the rear tyres to 245/45/16 (I think - definitely 245), and these are definitely available with the S03.... The S03 doesn't look as good as the S02, but it certainly works well enough !

I guess you are trying to get S02's. These were discontinued quite a while back (c 2002) but after a bit of phoning around a few weeks back I managed to get one to replace a damaged rear.

Happy hunting.

Check out the latest range of Dunlops, I think they may now be O/E on all new TVRs. I have a set of Dunlop roadlegal track tyres on my car and they're awesome.

Per chance were Dunlops one of the main sponsors of the Le MAns T400's .
Any particular pattern being pushed and or recommended.
