lend me some tyres for the sideways challenge?

[greenv8s]

I seem to be entering the Autocar sideways challenge competition. Which is great, but I don't want to trash my road tyres doing it.

Could anyone lend me some 16" wheels for the event? With disposable tyres would be ideal, but I do have a couple of old knackered tyres to put on if I can borrow some 16" rims.

Alternatively, if you have a pair of 16" Chimaera 4.0 rear rims for sale (these are the 5-spoke ones), I'll happily buy them off you!

Cheers,
Peter Humphries (and a green V8S)

About 5mm, and I'd like to keep it that way! Normally at track days I can control the tyre wear pretty well, but this sounds like it is going to be one long power slide which is likely to be *very* hard on the tyres.

Just out of interest, why it it greenv8s at the start and Greenv8s on your last post?

No idea! Ted?

I think it depends on which version you use when you log in.

Hey Pete,

I taped Speed Sunday and watched it last night - and there you were sideways looking good (if not a bit too far gone ) until they cut to another car. Your moment of fame! (Just thought I'd let you know you were spotted!)

Rats I missed it, probably just as well though since I made such a 2@ of myself, didn't realize it was on camera!
