anything - as long as it's cheap! (or free lol) for drifting.

so low tread, worn edges, chewed sidewalls, punctures etc not a problem, they don't last long anyway.

local-ish to derby/notts ideal as it's not worth posting unless they are half reasonable and cheap enough.

worth an ask! anyone?

not sure if 17's are viable on an E30, but 215/45/17's and similar sizes are piled up in every tyre company in the country lol That's what they swap out all the time at DWYB days at pod for about £4 fitted

17s do fit but i dont run anything bigger than a 15 at the moment on the back of the e30. just got an e36 as well though (runs 16s) so 17s could be viable.

pod tyre van charges 5 a tyre to fit and then whatever the tyre is - so can get expensive when i have a manual tyre machine at home and plenty of steel wheels!

Oh that's a bit of a con, it's always advertised as less than a fiver fitted... no mention of charging for the tyres too.

tbh ive only ever paid them to fit my own ones so maybe that is the case - cant see it being less to buy and fit than just fit tho - weird!

well if you consider that they'll be busy all day fitting scrap tyres no one cares about and they would have had to pay to get rid of anyway, I guess it kinda makes sense? Either way, 17's are the usual choice it seems for partworn availability.

think it's just the standard sizes on cars now are generally bigger so more of them about, just 17s no good for me (yet) i'm afraid.
