CSR CR500 rear tyres, where to purchase ?

[adrian.britnell]

Hi
I know Avon have discontinued the CR500 tyre but am looking to see if there are any new ones still around. I've tried Caterham, BMTR and Avon direct with no luck, anyone got any leads ?
Thanks in advance, Adrian

Hello Adrian,

 

I talked to Avon  in 2017 and got this reply... I did not buy the tires, though, since I was diverted by business, etc... I hope that they are still available, but I have enough tread for the time being.  I am not keen to move to the replacement, though.  Let us know how you get on.

Hello David,

 

Thank you for the email.

 

James is currently out of the office.

 

We currently have stock available of both sizes requested below. You can purchase them direct from us and the tyres can be despatched for a next working day delivery if ordered and paid for before 12 o'clock.

 

The CR500 are only available in the one standard compound.

 

Here are the prices again...

 

195/45R15 CR500 - £129.50 + VAT 

245/40R15 CR500 - £166.30 + VAT

Freight - Approx. £20 + VAT (per set)

 

If you wish to go ahead with this order, I’ll need an invoice address, delivery address, contact number for both and some payment details.

 

Hope this helps

 

Regards,

 

Faye

I was at Sevens & Classics at Brands last week and saw a pile of CR500s there.  Not sure what sizes as I didn't look that closely (not in the market at present) but worth giving them a call.

Thanks for the replies guys,

David ..... I have already spoken to Avon unfortunately they have none.

Ian .... I gave Sevens and Classics a call this morning, apparently they bought up the last of the CR500 stock from Avon but sadly they have no CSR rears left.
