Help with Avon Rallycross tyres

[fish]

A friend of mine does rallycross here in sweden, and the tyres are ludacris priced. So i thought we could look in england and see what they cost over there. Does anyone know where to look? The sizes he is interested in are RX Slicks 9x23,5x16 and "grooved" slicks (you know what i mean, slicks with tread on them) ACB11 215x23,5x16. The cheaper he can get them the more he will buy (depending on shipping costs of course).

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers

Kris.

hi kris,

you´re 3 or 4 weeks too late.. there was the ERC Race in Höljes... ;-)

take a look at google after "Vereeken Motorsport". This is the Avon Tyre Supplier in the ERC. This company is from Belgium.

Price for a 17 inch standard slick is 240€ + tax. (i do not know the price for a 16 inch)

you can give it a try.

Another tire supplier, probably with better prices is:

we get from there always the rain rallycross tires...

PS: all guys in the ERC buy the tires from Vereeken..

best regards

Wow, that's expensive... you can get rally tarmac Michelins for that price!
Aren't there other substitutes? I know they used to drive on Kumho's in rallycross some years ago. Perhaps Hankooks as they are the substitute for rally semi slicks?
Heard some good response from DMack tires, currently the 2nd used brand allowed to run in WRC championship. http://www.vandermarelautosport.com/pdf/dmack2012.pdf

What compound shore do you want?

I can give the cell number of the main man at Avon if it helps?

Thanks guys, i will pass this on to him. You could PM me the nr if you want and i could give him a ring, but i suppose he will point me in the swedish dealers direction as i would think he makes money off them? PM me your name too so i know what to say when he asks who gave me his nr
