    Once you've used and abused them at a drift day, how do you dispose of them? Local tip? I take it you can't burn em :D

    That's the problem though, I got my tyres from the chucky away-ee bit of a local tyre place. Wonder if they'll let me get some more and *cough* drop some off at the same time :)

    You usually have to pay a few quid per tyre for them to have em back off you cus it costs them to get rid.

    They might do. My local garage said they'll take mine off me for a quid a time, which is what it costs them to have them taken away. I can live with that.

    The tyre fitter I went to gave me 8 tyres, fitted, and took 2 old tyres off me for a fiver and a drink. lol

    They said they'd take any old tyres off me if I want, since they're employees and it's no skin off their back. Top stuff.

    Otherwise they just sit in my back garden until I can find some way of disposing of them, usually involves pikeyness and hanging on to them for a while.

    Chuck them over the wall into the tyre garage when its closed :D

    I gt some tyres fitted at a local "rude boy" shop and they were charging £3 per tyre disposal, i told them i wasnt paying it and would take them away myself and just left them behind a saxo in their car park :D
