Just what is says. ;)

Does anybody know anything about these tyres?

They have been out for a while but only in limited sizes. A load of new sizes have been released recently. Don`t think they are replacing 32`s at the moment.

I`m going to have a set.......they should grip for Britain and they look sexy too......a bit like a bike tyre tread.

As with all new tyres you'll only know if they're any good once you've used 'em and there's enough reliable information from other peoples use on similar car types (ie they may be good on a heavy tintop... but what about when the car only weighs 500kg??). Yoko's are usually #### good boots though and I wouldn't expect these to be any different!!

As always the market will be aggressive so shop around ( tyre sizes may be slow coming through)

The Lotarse boys love these and IIRC they used to be exclusive to Lotus and were designed specifically for the 340r but you'll see em on Elises, Exiges and other such nonsense at every track day you go to. They're very much along the lines of the 032r but AFAIK come only in big sizes.

I've only seen them used on lotii so don't know whether they'd be better than an 032 on a Westfield.

Just spoken to George Polley Motorsport (Yoko importers) They say 13" sizes will be available at the end of August :arse: .

They will be a similar price to AO32's & are an updated design with new tread pattern & uptdate constuction (Whatever that meens?)

look here for pics
