Desperate for a pair of tyres for Shakey!
Discussion
Hi guys, newbie here looking for a little help.
I'm going to Shakespear raceway on the 16th of April And will be meeting up with some other TVRowners taking part in the run what you brung event.
We have done this event twice before and I have always used track tyres on my TVR but thought that I could use a pair of dragradials or similar this time.
I normally run 17 inch road wheels and 18 inch rear track wheels and I have got hold of a pair of 16 inch wheels that fit my hubs.
I'm desperately seeking a pair of drag radials, approximate size 255/50/16 or something similar.
Foolishly, I thought that there would be a lot around but as yet I haven't found any.
Ideally I'm looking for a used or reasonably priced pair that I can get hold of in time before Saturday week.
A bit of a long shot, but I just wondered if any of you guys had something kicking around your garages that would suit my needs?
Heres hoping.
Out of interest, on track tyres I have run a 12.09 quarter mile. Hoping to get into the 11s .

Is there nothing here > http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=...
... or here > http://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=...
... that fits the bill?
You're unlikely to find any of the non-15inch drag radials on stock in the UK so you'll probably need to ship.

That is the whole point, only new are available to order from the States at a minimum cost of £500 the pair.
The object of this thread is hopefully to find someone that may have a pair of suitable tyres lying around.
If you are serious about getting tires then shoot me a message maybe I can help. Maybe for £350 but have to be ordered ASAP. Shoot me an email at mini_me68@hotmail.com as I don't frequent here.

Thanks again to minima but we are just a few days short!
Again, if anyone has anything suitable sitting in the garage............
