Bugger!
Went to get the Yokohama Advance Fleva tyres today.
Out of stock. Only two in the country of the size I want and a quoted ten week delay.
So it's back to crunching the 'net' tonight to find a replacement tyre.
Regards.
Rich.

Thanks for the input wannabe.
But I'm looking for 205/50 x 15" tyres.
The amount of tyres in this size that at the moment are not in the UK is very large.
I suppose they are on the high seas or in container ship docks? Apparently some of the very large foreign manufacturers of tyres have not made any for a year now.
Well that's what I've been told anyway.
It's looking very much like I will be at Cadwell Park on ... R888s ... blinking flip! I'm not looking forward to that or the drive there and home.
I might get lucky and it be a dry deal.
It's still the Advan Fleva V701 that I really want so I'll just park the MX for the winter and wait for new supplies next year.
Thanks to all for the input in this thread.
Regards.
Rich.

Well I didn't know that.
I read that the 1999 NB, my car, was supplied with not only 15" wheels but 14" 16" and 17" wheels.
So maybe death doesn't stalk me. I have a set of 16" from an NC. Ha! Problem of a rainy day looks to be solved until I can get the tyres I want.
Regards.
Rich.

FUBAR'd
I think there was a mazdaspeed turbo in the USA with 17s on, but, it may have been 16"s like the euphonics had.
