New Zealand Historic Saloon Cars Under HRC

Roger, is the CR65 of today still a bias ply?

In reply to both your and Bruce's questions. The CR65 is a ply tyre that we get in a bulk order of around 40 CR65 tyres direct from the UK. With the bulk order and combined freight the price was reasonable - we usually do an order once a season for the guys in our series.
The wear is reasonable and seems a bit better than the Toyos but they do harden off from the initial softness level. The really competitive guys in the UK replace them after 8 heat cycles but we find they are still reasonable after a season.
They are nice tyres to drive on with predictable and gradual loss of grip. There has been a supply problem with the UK production having to close due to health and safety issues but I understand that new production in Portugal is coming on line.

Thanks Roger, appreciate your input.
