Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on how you look at it, they wont fit over my whopper brakes

I forgot about that .

Shane may take them for the race car.

I didn't think the Council took tyres..

Did I say council? I meant coconuts.... ie the family of Māoris living acros the road form me.... I knew it started with a 'c'

I assume they're 16's? If they were 17's I'd be interested.

16 I'm afriad. Btw, just a noob q, why do u need 17" instead of 16" for racing?

Cause that's the size tyre i run. I buy used tyres, ex Mini Challenge, only come in 17"

ic.....they sell used semi?

I buy slicks but they're starting to get scarce, mini challenge ended over a year ago now.

If you want to buy used semis visit the racetrack on any race weekend and look for racecars with the same size rim that you run, and ask them how often they buy new tyres and if they'd be interested in selling they're used ones. Obviously make sure you check them for flat spots or other damage, and obviously make sure there is plenty of wear left on them (beware though true semis only have about half the tread depth new that a normal road tyre has). I wouldn't pay more than a 1/3 the new price for the tyre. Also understand it's a bit hit and miss. It's more than just general appearance, heat cycles are just as important in determining if a used tyre will still have any grip, and unfortunately there's no way for you to know how many heat cycles they've had nor whether they were roaded correctly before use.

There's a State Championship round coming up at EC on June 18/19.

I used to buy used slicks. Ex front Porsche cup tyres for 18s.
