richj Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello everyone, After extensive research.. Looking for a census of owners and specialists who would be prepared in principle, to purchase Avon 205 60 VR14 tyres for their cars and clients. A mould has been found, I believe it may be that of Turbospeeds of the period and will be of the long time missed V speed rating. As we all know there is a very limited choice for this size and no options other than H rating. About time a period high quality tyre was offered to compliment the handling dynamics of our cars. Esprit, Eclat and Elite.... If interested please let me know. We need numbers to make this happen. Regards Rich 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjwooll Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Sounds good, I'd be up for a set of 4 depending on cost. It could also be worth reaching out to owners of Celicas prior to around 1990, and of MR2s which used this size with the V rating on the rear.

richj Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Thanks Richard TVR also I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXCEL V8 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 What sort of compound would the tyres be made from Richard - something "modern" or a reproduction of the original (45yr old) type? I'll need some tyres in about 12 months time, but they will need to be the best road-legal performance tyre available. Thanks Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richj Posted January 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hi Pete Yeah, modern materials as used by Avons today, using the original mould. A premium tyre for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
