Where do historic F1 racing cars get new tyres?

Question

You see the old racing cars being driven around at goodwood but how do they manage to get tyres as they used to use goodyears and avons etc which are nothing like modern rubber

Answer 1

what a good question. I would expect the makers would still be able to make tyres the same size, but with different rubber.

Answer 2

Kwik Fit lol

No seriously a place called vintage tyres

Answer 3

Avon supply the tyres for the FIA Thoroughbred Grand Prix World Championship which is for cars built between 1966 and 1985 so they must still be manufacturing them.

Looks like it's a thriving series.

Answer 4

All F1 tyres are hand made, so you get them from the manufacturer
