Tyre Swap!

[sl33per]

hay all just hoping someone could lend me 2 rear tires, r33 stockies if possible

Sorry, not able to help. Dare I ask, is it the wheels that are a problem or the state of the tyres?

There have been one or two other occasions when people have asked to borrow wheels and tyres to go over the pits, because their tyres are bald. In such cases, the advice is always to go and buy some new tyres. We are priviliged to drive such wonderful, powerful cars as these. Decent tyres are part of the price for that privilige.

So don't be like the bogan Falcadore drivers, make sure your car is road-worthy. Otherwise you will wrap yourself around a lamppost somewhere.

(Bet you wish you had never asked, now!) Sorry for the lecture and I hope it was not needed.

Cheers.

I agree. You got stickered for bald tyres for a reason. I have had the privilege of driving on both bald and shit tyres, and trust me it isnt a nice expeience. Even without boost, I was afraid to drive my car (I had had my license for only a matter of weeks when I nearly hit a tree because my car slid out, I turned the corner at 10km/h if that). Mate, tyres arent that expensive, just do the right thing and you wont regret it.

Also, listen to what Brendan has to say. He has a lot more experience then most of us, and knows what he is talking about... Most of the time

geez, all he asked was if he could borrow some tyres, not a lecture

Cheers, Rhys. Just call me old father time!!!! LOL.

And Sl33per, as i said, sorry if it became a lecture. But if Rhys agrees with me, I must be right!!!

Yeah I agree with ML crisis

I span out on Bald tyres I'd hate too see someone else do that

and possibly hurt themselves or someone else in the process

if so replace the tyres

FYI

span out on the freeway about 6 months ago aquaplaned into the barrier after hitting some water

even still the tyres where pretty worn may have been different if the tyres were new

I know alot of people may look down on me for it but still just replace the tyres to avoid what i went through
