Quick question about the Maxxis tyres - are they willing to sign off their approval for use in both dry and wet conditions? It's not mentioned in the text posted, and if the question hasn't been asked then we can only assume that they are not safe, until proven otherwise?

This goes for any other tyres, not just Maxxis ones, btw.

Lets get this absolutely clear once and for all shall we? This alleged letter from Pirelli DOES NOT EXIST. I have spoken to Steffen Baum, Technical Director of Pirelli Racing and he is aware of the series, and is aware that such a letter was requested, but PIRELLI REFUSED TO PROVIDE SUCH A LETTER. Eddie Wright, a former Pirelli Director who is now MD of Competition Logistics, who run ALL Pirelli race efforts, ALSO confirms this letter does not exist. They have also LAUGHED at the suggestion that they would EVER have written a letter telling us we must use ZR rated tyres, then 2 years on, re write the letter to say they are no longer suitable and that we MUST use H rated tyres.....In fact, Pirelli tell me that for us to use these tyres is a pain in the **** for them, as they do not sell the H rated tyre in the UK so it DOESNT promote their product, and they ONLY bring in 60 pairs a year specifically for our series, and these are ALL sold to Holbeach.....hence the monopoly. The few that are available outside this source are grey imports..........So we have been fed a line on this one, as have Pirelli, who have been told that we as riders have INSISTED on using the tyre we do, and do not WANT to use a better spec tyre....they are bemused to say the least....Please feel free to ask him should you wish to disbelieve what I am saying. A certain member of the race committee that has just resigned has also confirmed from the DSC point of view that this letter does not exist. I think he finally got sick and tired of the bullshit that he has been fed, the way that we and Pirelli have also been fed it....
