Yep brand new.They are wider than the Mini Miglia slick and not many people use them so they could be what Dunlop has left of an old stock

When you phone George Polley and mention 032Rs you are greeted with silence as though you have asked for a kilo of Kryptonite. They have been advertising them in all their ads but don't stock them, either that or the monkey answers the phone when I call.

I had trouble buying A032s so I went to A048s instead. Best price I found by some distance was www.adamsandpage.com but they said they didn't get A032s either.

I'm really restricted on 14", think I'm going to go back to Dunlop SP, hence my question to Mig.

EDIT: I take that back, A&P are showing them as in stock on their website

Don't knock single seater tyres "Guru". Team Fat Blokes from Upminster, have used ex-Zetec tyres on the Fiestas & Novas for 3 years now. We get good quality tyres from our source, and they will generally do 2 meetings before they are knackered. They give good grip, until they hit the canvas(as Pastie Man well knows! What we spend on tyres per season wouldn't keep some of the DMN competitors in burger's from Gail's, for a single meeting!!!

maybe chris, although your single seater tyres definatly require a totally different suspension set up to "normal" slick tyres, so if on a car that did handle you just swapped from a set of say 048's to ss tyres his car isnt going to handle right anymore.

personally im still not convinced on them having watched grichie87 many times add new meaning to the word understeer,
as for pastie man, well i think he's a unique case, of having such car control he just throws the car into the corner on one wheel and somehow sorts it out.

dont eat burgers myself, but generally get the best part of a season from a set of tyres!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm not knocking anyone by the way, if it works...............

you dont need to have head lamps as such, but you need to have working forward facing lights in the area of the orgional headlamps.

so i dont see an issue with lamps in the bumper area,

the rule was introduced a couple of years ago in DTRC/ DMN on safety grounds, its just to make your car more visable to those in front of you in poor weather conditions or fading light

the reason i asked was the rule on lights. and the car was built by daniels motorsport and never had headlights just the spot lamps in the bumper
thanks graham.

Plenty of us in the LMA Euro Saloons run little spot lights at the front. We had our Eligibility scrutineer attend our race at Oulton last weekend and these were passed fine

Just need to have something which shines a light forwards

its up to you but there is no need, we have quite a few cars out there that dont actually have headlamps.

there is a big difference between a "blue book" technical regulation and a championship/series regulation,
