Dave you were asking about the two tyres I have, they are 215/40/17 both worn about the same but still good for a couple of track days if you want 'em.

I also have one (same dimensions as the others) that is almost new (ask Al) that has a screw in it, you could get it fixed if you wanted but it's up to you.

See Ya

Daz

 

I'll have a looksee at them and compare them to what's on already. If it balances out the wear until I need a full set (UltraC's next ) then all will be well. I won't be getting my wheels back until thursday when I see Dave Carter. Shall I pick you up for the Hull run, assuming you're coming.

I also need to make sure the different profiles won't upset the AWD, but as the WRX doesn't have a centre diff I shouldn't think so

 

Cheers Dave a lift would be great, I'm in the process of trying to get the night off, if I can I'll let you know.

Cheers again

Daz

PS. tell me again how to get piccies on here and I'll post some of the tyres for you.

 

Host them in a www.photobucket.com gallery and copy the line of text in the bottom panel under the req'd pic labelled "Img" and paste it on here.

 

Here you go

Tyre size


Tread wear on the well used ones



Tread wear on the nearly new one with the screw


What do you think?

 

They would be ideal, but I have concerns over the diffs with the different profiles. I have asked the question in WT&B and had one person come back saying I shouldn't do it. The difference will be 10.8mm (0.4"), and I have heard horror stories from people saying even a 4mm difference in wear on tyres with the same profile can kill the diff Probably Scoobynet guff, but given that I could be exceeding that by 250% then I have to get it clarified before I commit.

 

This one...



...looks illegal anyway Daz. The law states 1.6mm across the centre 3/4 ot the tyre, and visible tread pattern to the edges. In the pic it looks bald on the left edge

 

Yup. The screw was picked up only a few hundred miles after getting all 4 replaced at Motorsport Wheels. It couldn't be repaired as it was too close to the shoulder.... Good for the track though with a £10 patch..

 

It would be a judgment call on the tread depth I think

The outside edge was caused by the collapsed bearing it was probably going over a period time looking at it.

You're welcome to the tyres anyway, I don't want owt for 'em, you'll have to see if you can get another two from somewhere else.

I'll let you know tomorrow if I can come on the Hull run.

 

Dave

I managed to get the night off so I can come on the Hull run, if you could pick me up that would be great

Cheers

Daz
