Tyres… What to do about tyres. I've heard the Michelin TB15's are good for this kind of conversion, and I've seen some great pics. They cost £220+VAT for the fronts and about £240+VAT for the rears. I've got a bit of an issue though - the sizes don't seem right on the rear. The rears come in two sizes, 295/40VR15 and 335/40VR15 - the first is a little bit too narrow for the rims, and the second is too wide. After discussing this with Mark and his friend Andy, I've decided to go for the Yokohamas that were originally on the RSR. These are only made in small batches once a year, but luckily Mark knows someone I can buy a set off - some luck at last!
