Hot laps is the brand name that Yokomo used for their Tyre range. So in theory, anyone that deals with CML could get them. In practice, i'm not sure how widely available their tyres have been (worldwide) for sometime now.

I have some Hot Laps TR32's that I was going to put in the For Sale section later this week - are they the ones you're after?

Hello, the ones i have here are TF-330 i got them from someone ages ago amongst other bits and bobs so they are probably really old, are the 32's like the my 330's in the picture?

The matching rear for those would be a TR-33. Good luck finding any!

TR32s will work with those fronts. When we used them at Nationals, it was not always possible to get matching sets but they work OK as the spike height is similar.

Used to run them in the wet on grass and they were the tyres to have before the rules were tweaked. Now we seem to run BB tyres in the wet although I reckon they would still work well...

If I remember rightly, we used to trim the outside and inside row of spikes as they are very aggressive.

They are a plain spike rather than stepped like those...I've got fronts to match but none like those. Was going to do a big clearout of all my tyres on Friday:D
