Drag Tyres
 

In the best tradition of last minute panics - I need a pair of drag tyres for Sunday, ideally a road legal variety, but given the timescale I'd settle for just about anything :o

They are for a 16" wheel with a maximum size of 245/50.

Anyone got / mates with someone who would be able to help out? I'm happy to pay 40-50 quid for a loan of them for the weekend.

i noticed andy had a set on subaru 16 inch wheels. dunno if they'd be the right size for you then m8, but it's worth askin:)

Thanks, due to timescales it's not looking like I'll have the chance to swap tyre between wheels now, even if Andy could help. Tomorrow is looking like an interesting day - first time it will have turned a wheel in over 4 months and so much changed it couldn't even be driven on the current map if someone tried.

if u can try getting bf goodrich new drag radials or mickey thompsons

nito555's are very good and road legal but u need to import them

Thanks Moses, I did exchange e-mails with Nitto a few months back and they told me they were not interested in selling thei tyres to the UK, and the couple of US places we tried were just having a laugh with their delivery - 6 weeks or 300 USD and you can't arrange your owning shipping.

As it turns out I don't need them any more as my engine went today - stupid rotary lump of junk killed itself with no warning and for no reason. Almost 10psi at 4.5k rpm with an 11.3:1 AFR and with no det/knock it just said enough was enough and checked out. TOTB is now out the window :( gutted :(
