Not of the fronts, they don't.

They're running around trying to get some.

AAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom?
Buy a second set of wheels from Rarerims. They'll cost you about

I'd recommend anyone else tries Mytyres.co.uk.

They're dispatched from Germany (it's a German company) and maybe BS De hasn't run out of stock yet?

It's entirely possible the remaining fronts are being exclusively shipped to Suzaka, for production until near the end of 2008. I cannot think of another sensible explanation for a ridiculous situation.

It also rather implies that the stock of S2000s may well be exhausted at the same time as the tyres...

So if you want some MZs and a classic car...

No, it's incredible how prices vary.

It's either that or get the track modified to fit the 4'8 1/2 railway guage & sod the far king tyres.

Watch out for oncoming trains, though.

It would at least corner as if it were on rails...
