FYI I  understand that the way antique car clubs like the AACA get around 
the "no  exact size available" problem is to require the closest size 
that IS  available, then if and when the correct tire DOES become 
available, to  require its use.

That said, I wonder if the powers that be in CORSA are  listening? Hello 
out there? Anybody  home??

Yeah, Mark - People in Corsa have listened to Bruce for several  years now. 
(Bruce and I have discussed this innumerable times) Speaking only for  myself 
right now, I believe it is up to the Concours people to get together a  
proposal. If the Concours Committee came to the Corsa Board with a Proposal  for a 
tire requirement change in the rules - Which is what this is - and,  perhaps, a 
commitment from a tire company, like Coker, that he would make the  desired 
tire available at a market price, the Board would likely go along.  You know the 
drill. New Concours faces can change things. There are new  faces in play 
these days. If a Concours Chairman were to turn down a  "groundswell" request, 
the Board might re-think it. But until that happens,  (action by the Concours 
committee) the Board is unlikely to take any  action. In the past, the Board has 
undertaken some independent polling of  Concours participants, specifically 
on the trailering issue. I believe this was  done at the request of the 
Concours folks.  - Seth  Emerson
