I have a set of Dunlop D02g's that I used in the Ford Saloon Car Championship in 2007 that might do the job, I'm not sure if they are road legal tho??

They are 225 x 45 x 17 and having just had a quick look, two are nearly on the tread bars so there's not much life left in them. I had to use 225's to clear the arch's on my 3dr so they might fit.

I'm in Royston, Herts so if there any good, send me a PM

Regards
Jeff

adjust your driving style so it's more like mine and run it on road tyres

job done, zero tyre wear

Don't think too many people are gonna let you 'borrow' a set of expensive tyres for a ring trip lol....can't imagine they'll come back road legal Have you got any tyres that don't rub or just wanna use 888's or similar?
