Yokohama AO46 tyres - List 1A???

Post by blacky »

Just wondering if any of you knid fellas with a Blue book could have a look for me as I don't have mine with me, and need to know before parting with cash for wheels.

Danke Bitte

A046 doesn't appear on either list. I ran AO48s in B3 as the 1B list says -R. It's a bit of a grey area I think.

Anyway, they're too hard for sprints and don't warm quick enough IMO. I have a set of these on some wheels with the intention of using them for a track day.

Yoko Parada 2s are 1A. As are Bridgestone RE070s & RE050s

Don't know if that helps.

Same I think Duncan, they are on 1B or too new to be on any list.

Only reson for asking was a set of wheels I was interested in came with those tyres....oh well probably best anyway, don't really need new wheels, was just being a bit of a tart as mine are corroded.

Didn't think R1-R's were out for a few months yet?

What about re-furbing your wheels? The guy who did the repairs and paint on my car charges

Yeh, could do, but was wanting 2 sets of rims anyway so was going to wait till I have another set then send these ones away as the OZ's on the 6 look pretty good anyway I reckon.

I think 046 are the OE tyres evos are sold on - mine came on them when new - but are not on sale here. If people want similar performance they go for 048s.

BTW Tony Bullpitt, who seems to be making a habit of beating me, runs Paradas...
