I have received this reply from MSUK Technical Dear Steve The Asterisk next to a listed tyre is an indication that the tyre may be removed for the following year. It does not mean that the tyre is ineligible this year, and it won’t be removed during the year. The tyre list are compiled by the individual manufacturers, who advise Motorsport UK which tyre products they support for inclusion on the lists. NOVA Motorsport who represents the AVON products on the tyre lists, requested the listing to be annotated with the Asterisk in 2025 for the following reasons, which they confirmed by email to me today; The asterisks on the ZZS and ZZR were added because, due to regulatory changes, we will be unable to produce these tyres in their current specifications moving forward. However, we do have significant levels of residual stock and are closely monitoring inventory levels both within the marketplace and through our UK dealer network. We currently do not anticipate removing these products from list 1B until at least 2027 for obvious reasons. The Asterisk is there to give advance notice that the tyre may be removed, so that competitors can make informed purchasing decision, we will always give at least one year of notification, but the tyre will not be deleted from the list until the manufacturers requests deletion, once they consider the product to have been out of production for long enough that existing tyres have been used up. I hope this clarifies. Best Regards

I put a query in about it this morning. My gut feel would be that whilst they have been "asterix" for removal, the bigger problem is that Avon is no more and currently no-one is exactly certain which tyres Nova will be making, other than the slicks.

Ordered just few days ago and today got some toys - from motomobil.de , another time I am really impressed with they "ordnung" . And no duties, taxes, duty agencies , etc. Every part with proper description, real stock availability (contrary to some other shops which says "yes we have that", then weeks or months waiting... ), and rack even that was descripted as "might be reconditioned" is a new part (or that is such level of recondition ). Anyway, in the evening cutting steering rods to lenght for Westfield and instaling new rack ! ( Old had horrible play on one side, some plastic bearing in there felt apart, oil was leaking to gaiters etc. )
