Is that the one with the blocky, old style tread? They are now known as K62's

Ah, right. Can't help you there then. You're right, they do seem to have discontinued them.

Jarv, I used to use these. IMO they were good. They were discontinued a long time ago now, probably over 5 years.

Always found them a good tyre, had a set fitted to a smallframe Vespa and large auto and they coped well in all conditions. Paul

Only places I can find them online is in the US, but then they always were a few years behind ;)

cheers all. think I will go with an alternative.
I guess any new ones will still be quite old, which is not always ideal if they haven't been stored well
