Avon CR500 Tires

Does anyone know where to find Avon CR500 tires here in the US?

Thanks,

Our fellow 7er, Jon Stokes, @ Stokes Performance Tire in Santa Monica may also be able to help.

It's a good tire, but it ain't cheap.

Dave,

Read through this thread on the CR-500's:

http://www.californiacaterhamclub.com/chat/showthread.php?t=426

As Woody mentioned at the end of that thread, Dan Holtman has them on his Birkin and likes them a lot. The fronts are 195-45-15 and the rears are 245-40-15. According to the latest EVO magazine (Jan 06), these are the same tires and sizes Caterham is using on their new CSR 260.

What color is your new Birkin?

Stosh, How are you likin' the green Birkin compared to the yellow Beauty that moved up north?? Power mad??

I like it very, very much!
Still upgrading, but nothing on the engine for awhile. I had it on the track at Infineon for the first time in October, and can't wait for Button Willow in April.

Here I am holding up a Cobra, missing the apex by a mile, making the instructor frown, dang I'm having a good time!

Hey Stan,

The Birkin is raw aluminum and a deep blue. I don't have the car in my hands yet but should in about a month I'd guess.

I'd trying to decide on both a set of street tires in 15" and a set of autocross tires in a 13". I also need to pick an autocross wheel.

Thanks for asking,

Dave
