Tyres for a standard 93 Chimaera ??

Yes I know it has been asked a million times before, but the question always seems to be answered by people who have changed wheels etc, further confusing the issue.

Barbie (sorry thats her name coz she's pink), runs on standard wheels 15" front, 16" rear.

Currently runs on
Front 205 60 ZR15 Bridgestone S02
Rear 225 55 ZR16 Bridgestone S03

I only need two fronts and would like to stick with Bridgestone, but only V rated RE720 offered.
Only Z offering is Dunlop SP9000

What do I do?????

PS any tips for a decent fitter in Yorkshire would be appreciated too/

Regards

JR

Claire (The Gaffer) seems to be happy running on the 9000s. She says that they are recommended by John Reid the racing manager. They do appear to be one of very rapidly diminishing choices.

Thanks JR

Amazed, just sourced a pair of Bridgestones at Black Circles( the last ones ), so sorted, but info re P9000's worth knowing for future.

According to Blackcircles, Bridgstone will be producing Z rated RE720's in these sizes in the future
