410 tire problems

[427James]

Having worn down the set of Cup2s currently on 2021 Exige 410 I am now in the market for some replacements. However, it appears that neither Cup2s, nor Trofeos or any other track focussed tires are available in 410 sizes.

Does anyone know when this happened or know of anyone that will sell tires for the car? I cant be the only one with this issue...

Any help appreciated.

Great thank you. Looks like I will have to go to 295/30/18 on the back and use AR1s.

The newest tyre getting good reviews / test results is the Yokohama AD09. Not far off AR1 track performance but with more tread and better wet performance.

Not all retailers have all sizes yet, but Yokohama’s website suggests they are available in OEM 410 sizes.

Might be worth checking out if someone can get you the sizes you need.

Where are you seeing this Paul? Looking at https://www.yokohama.eu/en/tyres/pcr-tyres/summer/... I'm only seeing suitable rear widths. Hope that I'm wrong as a Cup 2 Connect alternative (i.e. below a full-on track tyre) would be great instead of a PS5 (not in the same ballpark) or a Bridgestone Potenza Sport (PS4S comparable but poor wear when tracked).

I saw it on the main Yokohama site. https://www.yokohamatire.com/tires/advan-neova-ad0...

So they make them in 215/45/17, but it seems like that size is maybe not on sale in the EU yet?

I don’t know whether someone like Tegiwa would be able to get them for you if you contacted them?

Ah OK. I saw some eBay US listings for the correct front size but was hoping I'd simply missed a resource pointing to the correct sizes in the UK.

I'll let somebody else ask as I'm currently on a fairly new set of Connects (but do need to flog one of each lightly used front and rear non-Connects on TLF...). But I'm prepared to be disappointed if Yokohama don't bring the AD09s in 215/45 R17. Michelin do the PS4S in this size in the States, after all...
