I'm set for tyres this weekend

[PhilMorrison]

:) I was a little worried about tyres this weekend, but I've just upped my stock a little :)

thats 4x 225/40/18's, 2x 235/40/18's, 8x 225/45/17's, and a whole load of tyres that are to big for me to use :rolleyes:.. I am hoping that 12 tyres is enough for this weekend though, I'm hoping to get through the day at silverstone on 4 rear tyres and still be able to drive home on 2 of them, then use the rest on Sunday at Bwheels... The surface is f*cking awfull, if your driving be prepared for massive massive chunking..

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

Wow! You've got more spare tyres than Steve and Matt put together (and I don't mean that you're all fat bastards!)...

[Bon Bon]

Phil, what do you do about the destroyed tyres and where do you get your tyres fitted?

Most places I go to whinge when I ask them to fit part worns. Oh, and where do you get your supply of tyres from?? ;) I'm guessing with THAT many tyres that you get them at bargain prices.

Mmmm, P6000s, they're nice dry weather tyres. Very drifty drifty.

Fookin ell :eek:

Sadly, ive actually bought a shed... Yes, at my age... A shed for such purposes... Im fed up my old fella moaning at me for having bits of AE86's lying around, plus the dumb ****ing decorator/builder guy got some white water/powder plaster sticky shit all over a spare Trueno bonnet. :mad: So i have a drift shed on its way.. :indiff: :wack:

Phil,

What have you got thats too big? I might tkae some ofthose off your hands if I come up to the drift uk thing.

[PhilMorrison]

Ben: I'm thinking it's a little excessive if I've got more than steve :D

Astonman: I get most of them from Lodge, they ain't that cheap, but they do a fantastic job of telling rich bmw owners they need to change all their tyres when they've still got 6mm tread :wack:

Paz I've thought about that mysef :indiff:

Lee: do you need 17's? I don't think I've got much wide stuff in 17, I think I've got 4 265/35/18's if they're any use?

[Actual_Ben_Taylor]

If you don't want the 265s I could probably make use of them :)

Don't forget that the discs and pads look like they need changing too, which they noticed while changing the tyres. :nod: I had a place try that on me while changing some tyres over for a few quid, funny thing is, I'd replaced the discs and pads about a month earlier... errr

I pay £25 a tyre for decent part worns fitted and balanced (tyreworld), and all those look excellent. Those aren't for drifting mind you, I just find it slightly ridiculous how much you pay for new tyres VS decent part worns.

Actualy on the tyre note will there bit a company changing tyres at the drift day as i need some swapping arround on mine.

[PhilMorrison]

Ben, no worries, if theyr'e no use to Lee no probs. I'll have to check the condition aswell, as I pressume you want them for some nice Volk road wheels? ;)

Cookie: On Sunday there will be for competitors yep :)

[PulsatingStar]

Lee: do you need 17's? I don't think I've got much wide stuff in 17, I think I've got 4 265/35/18's if they're any use?

Yeah I need 17's, anything 255 or wider or 235 for fronts.


Im not sure whats happeneing now. Place I thought were going to do my suspension dont want much to do with it as they didnt realise what it was. Im now left with no much hope of having my car running before saturday, and im ****ing pissed off and fed up with the whole thing :mad:

I know that feelling. I'm not sure that the MR2 is going to be running for this weekend :annoyed: :furious:

[SteveCarter200]

Wow! You've got more spare tyres than Steve and Matt put together (and I don't mean that you're all fat bastards!)...

Oh no he hasnt.:D

I've got 16 15"wheels all with tyres on, 14 more spare 15" tyres, 4 17"s for my road wheels and one 18" for Mr Morrison.:D

I'll probably kill off 10 of them this week.:)

[cptsideways]

I've got 20 of the pesky things.....

6 spec rally tyres
4 14" standards
4 13" super slidys
2 13" super stickies
4 15" super stickies that are down to 1mm
oh and 4 17"'s too but they make it handle terribly

[Sibbers]

Oh my f*ck :eek:

[Matt_S]

I have 8 ready for Wednesday and another 10 ready to go on the rims. Thats 16s. Then I have 3 17" tyres and another 2 on the "spare" GTR wheels, plus my "daily" 17" GTR wheels with tyres on obviously... Oh and a couple of dodgy sized 16s (195 and a 215) - but I have quite a few pairs which is nice :) Picked up most of em for nowt;)

[Grim]

can i take it there will be some extreme tyre destruction this weekend?

rolling burnouts passed the stands?

"accidental" spins that become donuts?

I NEED to know, (for purely photographic reasons ;) )

[Matt_S]

I will no doubt do a few donuts... followed by coffee with sugar :) OH! You mean on the track! Err, yeah, probably - all in the name of good film obviously:rolleyes: Every donut you see me do will be done deliberately :rolleyes:
