I think there is still some production, but very little, if not they must be coming from stock in Asia

I think its more down to the problems they are having financially and to do with all the bad shit Japan had.

Yeah, lack of supply from Japan, I went to get some from Tweeks last week and ended up with Federal FZ-201s instead, don't know if they're any good yet

Yeah, road legal although they say for competition use on the outer sidewall so if the police get interested you may have to refer them to the e mark on the inner sidewall.

Don't do my size anyway

My options really are 888s if they do them or federal RSR, not sure the RSR would give much more grip than the current RE070's though... bah if only we had the choice of the Americans!

Toyo were going through problems financially hence the pulling out of most championships at the end of last year.

Is there much point in R888's now? They've gone up in price so much.

I've just had some 17" black team dynamics pro race 1.2s with 225/40/17 r888 tyres on ebay with no inertest
Tloadyres have loads of tread left on them; 2 have 3mm 2 have 4mm

pm me me if you might be interested in these, or if only the tyres i'd be happy to split the wheels / tyres

Out of interest: The 888 tyres are also Time Attack stamped as they were sourced from last years TA events

obv Pirelli are in the picture this year
