My understanding is that production continues until 20 Dec 2022 at Melksham but there is no decision on if, where or when the “Avon motorsport tyres” will be made after that. Bit of a concern.
From my own selfish point of view 13 inch tyres for the Caterham and Escort are getting increasingly difficult to source, and I hear rumours that a couple of other manufacturers of 13inch “Trackday” type tyres that I use (and which are used in many club race series) may be considering stopping production of that size. Not definitive yet, just a rumour!
