Avons

In the current shortage of Dunlops, what is the current Avon CFF tire being used by SVRA?

[bob darcey]

Front: Avon 5.0/22.0-13 A29 14297
Rear: Avon 6.5/23.0-13 A29 14298
only the A29 compound is allowed

Thanks Bob.

As these are treads, am I to assume that the tires are run rain or shine?

SVRA follows Monoposto rules for CFF. "rain tires are not allowed"

How many heat cycles are these good for? I just found out that they are twice as expensive as the Toyos that I currently run.

Most of the racers in the northwest USA at the well known SOVREN vintage club get a full season of 5-6 races That's about 20+ cycles. The fall-off is very little and the tires still remain very predictable. Yes, they are very expensive. They are a slightly harder compound and their usefullness is much longer than any slick that you have anticipated using; works out to be about the same. Keep'm covered with a towel or under the canopy out of the direct sun and you should get good use from them-for the season.
