Gents,
All the tyres have arrived and i was down to KH today to pick up the tyres for the ABZ crew. Hendeg came down in his car for a run and we also met Highlander for a coffee and to pick up a couple of items for Tut. KH was very busy today with the SLS taking place and I was approached by some of the drifting guys for the old tyres.
Tyres all ready for fitting.
Front tyres all fitted and balanced and the wheels protected with bubble rap. Old tyres on the top.
One of two old rear ZZRs which was starting to disintegrate badly because of low tyre pressure. Also inside the tyre on the inside curved edge was very shiny and it did not have the used look about them which was another indicator (Ronnie's assistant informed us about that point). Need some air into them after a track day, as the profile of the the ZZR is very stiff and if the pressure is too low, then it puts too much pressure on the sidewall.
Ali, this is the culprit that you were hearing.
We also found out that the new Yoko ADo48 are now not road legal as they don't have the relevant 'E" symbol on the tyre profile. Watch out if you are buying elsewhere as you might get a new tyre delivered. (Big D, is this what you bought???)
Campbell, we can also confirm that Daisy was wearing denim, but they were not the hot pants that you were thinking about.
Thanks for paying on time everyone, as Ronnie would have had to pay out about £8000 for tyres.
Cheers,
Steve.
ps Can we go yet.
