Want some free part worn tyres...

[silverzx]

I know a few of you work in garages so can you keep an eye out for some tyres for me guys?

Mainly aimed at South West / West Country boys, Connor, Frosty etc.

Now the funny / laughable bit..

I'm after some 265/35/18 x 2 and 245/40/18 x2 to get me going.

That's ET42 / 8Jx18" front's.

ET30 / 9.5Jx18" rears.

Yes, were going big boy spec on the Datsun.

Will also take any 205/55/16 / 195/55/16 / 205/45/16's for my skid rims.

Cheers!

About time you put some meaty rims on there

I'd have thought 245/40 might be a little big for a a 8J rim though?

Meh, I dunno, it's what's on them atm and they came off another S14 so guess they're fine? What do you suggest, slightly lower profile?

[Midnightclub]

I imagine they'll fit fine but in my head maybe look a little too wide? For instance, I'm running 225/45 on an 8J atm, and that looks like it has an ever so slight stretch rather than hanging over the edge of the alloys, it'll have a slightly stiffer sidewall so would probably make for slightly sharper turn in etc..being a common size too, probably a LOT cheaper

Ok mate, i'll have a pokey over the Datsun-200SX-OC and see what they say, your making sense, I just pressumed the tyre on there was suitable as it came with the wheels.

They look proper ricer btw. Like halfords specials.

[Midnightclub]

Oh gawddd.. what are they lol? Snapchat me a pic

I'd double check price wise but imagine that the 225/45 will be a lot more common in part worn anyway

Not bad for a freebie!

[Midnightclub]

Could be worse lol, and yeah if they're free!

Could probably also use a 255/35 (/30 i can't remember which) for the rear as that'll probably be in more plentiful supply too

[silverzx]

They've said 225/40/18 for the front. Close enough!

[Midnightclub]

That's it! Can never remember whether mine are 40/45 or 30/35 but it is 225/40/18

[Dum-Dum]

205/45R16 is what I need too

Why would people give away useable tyres free? I see PWs for sale on ebay with only like 3mm tread lol.

Because they have to pay to dispose of them?

Because they want to be helpful?

Because not everyones a c**t?

At my work we pay £1 a tyre for disposal and can freely give them away / take them but we never have 18"s in the pile.

Hmm, must be nicer your side of the country lol, most places round here tend to sell them on ebay/gumtree/facebook....cant be giving money away lol! Fair enough if they were literally slick just for drifting, but not anything useable.
