GoodYear Bluestreak is allowed in App.K in some categories. Then it depends on the race series whether they are allowed in that series. I have bought the GoodYear tyres in the past from the USA. Some sizes can be bought from GoodYear Luxembourg, but not all (on the McLaren I can only get the front tyres from Luxembourg, the rear tyres are not "EEC" approved...). They are extremely expensive by the time you have bought them, shipped them from the USA and paid customs duty (USD. 1800, plus duty, for a set from Sasco Sports) .... The special agreements between the FIA and Dunlop result in a lot of support from the manufacturer, who supplies all sizes, even those that are probably not very rewarding for them. So if you want more choice you may end up having to pay even more than now, not less.

PS. they were worth 4" a lap at Brands GP!
