Would be an interesting thing to know, but save it for a really boring moment maybe.

12 no longer has Goodyears
Good to know that - perhaps that means good things for its potential for future use.

I had noticed the Eagle F1s were still on the car in the recent set of detailer's photos and appeared again in the shots that were released by Kidston, including this one where it seemed a liberal amount of tire dressing had been applied to mask their age.



Clickable for close inspection in case anyone cares.

#021 in Singapore still has the Goodyear's fitted, but it has been pretty clear for a decade now that it is not being used.
