Hi, I have just realised 2 things 1. my first post in greneral Matorsport was in the wrong place & 2. I don't think I explained my problem correctly.
Here Goes Again!

I currently have a steel flip front round nose mini which I have been using for 2 years in Hill Climbs & sprints. Unfortunately because it has the steel flip front & "modified inner wheel arches" I have been running in the D1, Sports Libre, class and want to get into the A1 production class.

Therefore I have decided to fit a clubman front (more under-bonnet room!) properly welded in as per a normal car and register it with DVLA as a clubman. I don't think I will be able to use the current tyres, 175/55/13 A048Rs, as the clubman never had that size wheels/tyres whereas the sportspack round nose mini did.

There is a supplementary reg for the ASWMC championship I contend in that allows either 60 profile & above OR any size tyre below that profile that was offered as an option by the manufacturer for that model for A1 Production class. The Blue Book, section 1A, A048R restriction is overriden by these Supp regs as they only limit the profile, not the tyre choice, it just has to be road legal. There is a bit in the blue book in the tyres section that allows for this.

I have 8.4" discs fitted so 10" wheels are not a solution to my problem. So what I am after are some track tyres that are 12" and 60 profile or above, ideally 165 in width.

I have some A539s in the 13" size but do not feel this particular tyre will provide the necessary grip whilst cornering the rather tight twisty bends I have to navigate at my best speed.
Cheers, Barry
