After having a few problems with the set up on the car I now need a new tyre for the front of the car. Maybe a stupid qestion but should I replace both or can I get away with just the one?

Cheers Dave

Why not buy two new ones, and keep the old as a spare?

The other tyre's are good But I can't get the 0S 2's anymore so their would be two type's of tyre on the front.

In that case I'd go for a pair and pop the old good tyre on ebay

I personally wouldnt mix different makes / models of tyres on the same axle on any performance car (especially a TVR) due to the risk of different grip & performance characteristics from the tyres on the limit - its just not worth skimping on this.
