Never heard of these before. They're not on the CAMS "Production Car Tyre List". Not much detail on the website.

They appear to be available in Sydney from Tempe Tyres and Big Wheel Tyre & Auto Services

Why would you think they would be on the CAM Pro Car Lsit? They ain't a comsumer tyre yet.

Personally I'd give any tyre a go, pending price and sizes available. Having only 195/50R15 to offer, it will be only a limited market they can offer to.

It wasn't my intention to assume anything. Just putting the info up for those who might consider using these in competitive motorsport.
