Lets talk tyres

Tyre eligibility. Not the most exciting subject to blog about of a Monday evening, but theres nothing on TV and this info might be useful! As you may already know, scrutiny requirements for the Summer Lanes Rally are the same as for a normal Navigation Rally, APART FROM TYRES! To help reduce damage to loose sections, Gravel/Off-Road/Knobbly type tyres are not allowed. I have compiled a brief list of eligible/non-eligible tyres. PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A DEFINITIVE LIST, AS IT IS IMPRACTICAL FOR US TO EXAMINE EVERY TYRE ON THE MARKET.

Eligible Tyres:

Avon - ZV5, ZV3, CR322, Ice Touring
Colway – Road Plus
Dunlop – D83J, D93J
Hankook – Z213, Z210, Z211
Michelin – Energy Saver, Primacy HP, Pilot Exalto, Alpin, Primacy Alpin
Pirelli – Cinturato P4, P6, Cinturato P6, P7, Cinturato P7, P2500, P6 Fourseasons, Winter Snowcontrol, Winter Snowsport
Vredestein – Snowtrac, Snowtrac 2, Snowtrac 3
Yokohama – A048, A032R, A021R, A539

Non-Eligible Tyres:

Colway – Rally, Rally Plus, Rally Plus 4, Emjo
Dunlop – SP85, SP61, DZ86, SP82
Hankook – R202, R201, R203
Silverstone – S55, S505, S525
Yokohama – A035, A035R, A035E

As mentioned above, this is not a definitive list. If your tyres do not appear here, they may or may not be eligible. If you are in any doubt, e-mail me at apdorman@yahoo.com specifying the make and model of tyre you wish to use, and i will check it out for you. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding on this.
