    Dont' ahve the MSA Year book here and can't find the list on-line

    Basically List 1 tyres are moulded treaded tyres.
    List 1a are street tyres and 1b are stickier track tyres.

    I'll get the complete list from the MSA book if you want.

    But there are a handful of 1a Yoko's and 1b's too. 1bs can be ordered in differing compunds so I think there are about 15 tyres to chose from just from Yoko

    A032Rs are the most common for trackdays and mild competition as they wear a little longer than the A048Rs which have more grip but reduced mileage !!

    ?? Maybe regional differences ?




    Also, some serious guys used to import Japanese Yoko's and swore they were softer than European ones. I was never able to confirm or deny their belief.
