Thanks Tony

Looking for ideally two but one will do Avon CR500 175/55 (to fit 6 inch x 13 inch Apollo front wheels)

Also interested in CR500's for the rears (205/55 8" x 13") but fronts are the priority

Will pay postage (or collect if in midlands)

#25 cheers, I'll do that

I found this and seems this guy had the same issues - his approach was to fit adjustable platform and I see from other, later posts of his, he regarded it as a great success

Thanks all - some other things to investigate

Thanks for the info on dry sump. I think I'll look into the cost of that if it has a higher clearance. It may not be more expensive than having to replace a wet sump 2 or 3 times!!

Unfortunately I can't measure it as the car is now in for repair

I don't know whether changing the wheels on a 360s will help, but there is definitely an issue with the ground clearance - it may depend where you live and the roads you drive on but I have just taken the corner off the sump on an undulating but smooth road in the Peak District. I wasn't pushing it that hard but have previously had a few 'clatters' elsewhere. Be interested in any other views/experiences/solutions on this

Hi

Does anybody know where I might be able to get an Avon CR500 175/55 R13 please?

I know they were discontinued by Avon several years back and replaced with the ZZS but I have a set of CR500's on my 360s which are all fine other than the front driver's side which is worn on the inside.

I've been advised that if I change the front, I should ideally change all tyres to the same type or, at the very least, have the same tyres on each axle.

I know it's a long shot as they haven't been manufactured for quite a while but I wanted to see if I could get a CR500 before moving on to buying multiple tyres. 

Any advice or thoughts on replacement would also be appreciated - I haven't had my Caterham long so would welcome advice from those with experience/knowledge

Cheers

Mark
