Tires for Trophy

[Johnhoogland]

Any idea where to get 24/65 18 and 21/65 18 slicks? Especially the 21 are hard to find. I connected to Michelin, but need a set in a week from now.

If you need a swift response, it’s worth asking the same question to this Facebook group.

It’s worth your while creating a ‘pseudonym account’ for Facebook just to access this particular group. There’s usually lots of pragmatic advice available.

Those sizes don't look right? For race tyres it's supposed to be width-overall diameter-rim size, should it be 240/650/18 and 210/650/18? if so a quick search suggests a few options.

Demon Tweeks do a 240/640/18, only 10mm difference on diameter

210/650/18

I know of a German Chap Heinz Hartl recently bought Yokohamas for his trophy in 24/65 18 and 21/65 18. He sourced them from 4RMotorsport GmbH

Thanks. Hankook says to have an alternative too. 240/640R18 and 250/640R18 But I will have a look at those hankooks to. First have to get it running again. Won’t start. Battery ok. I’ll change spark plugs to start with….

Let me know how you get on trying to start it?

Having a mare with mine

You have to be sure battery is 100%. Just charge the battery till 100% and try with starter. That Magnetti Marelli injection is very sensitive to voltage drop. You can help to start with "cold start spray".
However, for me it didn’t work out.

You are correct , normal for race tyres.
