Just looked on all my Cossack models and they all have red at the rear

This woman made me my tulip '68 decals for my twink. Good stuff by all accounts and reasonably priced

[alancdavis]

Donna has done a lot of decals for me ,,,she will make anything you want and mail you the design for approval
Top quality and reasonable prices

Thanks Graham,red it is then...I'm not happy with the tyres though and realise i have dropped a bollock with them.Its another 500 QUID for a set of kumho's which i have not got tbh..I could just get 235 45 13's for the rear but they would be lower in profile than the 205 60's on the front.Or do i just keep batting with these 205's for now??

[Mexicomark]

Adrian if you could find some 235/50/13's (radius 283mm.) then there would only be around 5mm difference in tyre height compared to your 205/60/13's (radius is 288mm.)

Where as the 235/45/13's have a difference of 18mm (raduis 270mm.)

Although I think that is going to be easier said than done.
I know BF Goodrich used to do a 235/50/13 but they were never a brilliant tyre.
Avon do some road legal track day tyres, but they are designed for lightweight cars, usually under 700kg's & won't be as cheap as kumho's.
I know michelin & dunlop also do wide tarmac tyres, but again it will be at a cost.

If I were you I'd wear the 205's out first ...

[alancdavis]

These people do tyres at a reasonable price

not looked to see if they have the size you need

[kas750]

Thanks for the link Alan..
In the sizes that i reckon i need...235 45 13 rear and 215 50 13 front their seems to be a choice of one type of tyre,Kumho..The cheapest i have found is South Shore tyres in Blackpool.Even so they are running out at just over 120 each supply only...The most i reckon i could get for my new Falken 205 60 13's would be 50 quid each...so...

[alancdavis]

will 60 profile not fit the rear ?
