    Heh, saw a place the other day that had a sign next to their tyre pile saying something along the lines of "Take what you want, but clean any mess you make". Thought it was awfully nice for them to acknowledge that people can take them if they want, as long as they leave it nice and tidy.

    Where will it stop? Will it ever be finished? How will it go? Why am I not wearing any pants?

    I always went in (did runs in the morning, as soon as they'd opened on my way to work) and chatted with the guys at tyre joints. After you'd dropped in once or twice a week for a couple of weeks I usually found they'd put anything in my size aside for me.

    And then when they did have some a 6pack goes a long way.

    Yeah! ive found a few. Rare as hens teeth though! I always find myself shreading 175 65's

    The joints in moorabbin are pretty good! Ive been feeding my sliding needs with the second hand tyre piles for ages. 14's are getting harder to get. Must update to 15's since nearly every holden and new corolla's have 15's.

    ill agree, when i ran 15s going back 2.5 or mor yrs ago, i could never find shit in a 195/50

    now i cant find tyres for my 14 inch skid rims and i usually get 2 pairs of 195/50s when i go for a tire pile hunt

    last time i went to 1 shop and got 2 pairs... 1 pair died yesterday and the other pair will go on really soon

    but yeah i always make the stack neat again as i think im one of the only people in my area that does it... not many drifters around here

    Bridgestone supercats.

    Yeh I work at a tyre shop aswell. We tend to cut ours up now, it costs us $3 per norm passenger tyre and $5 ea truck tyre to get rid of.

    I'm sure these gyres places don't have a problem with you taking there secondhandies but please keep it neat.
