Does anyone know where I can buy some cheap 2nd hand 235/17 tyres from?

I need some as a stopgap until I buy some proper ones, as I've hopefully found a buyer for my standard rims, and I want to get the tyres tomorrow!

Any help appreciated!!!

Cheers, James.

I've got the G'Grids that my R came in from Japan with, but technically they are illegal because they dont have a DOT rating and due to the camber on my car the edges of some of the tyres are too low (i.e. bald) they are 245 and came off my 17x9's.

Make me an offer if you are desperate enough to want em!

Also weststate autobahn... just of Newcastle Street i think it is! I go there for me 2nd hand tyres.... I had G-Grid II's and they only lasted 8 months! Camber on my car is a bit too much and ploughed it's way through the side walls of my tyres! so i don't bother buying brand new tyres at $350 each!!! I only buy Z rated tyres and have 255's on the car so i go there and he has ones with 80% tread selling for half the price of others..... Ask for Jawid 9221 9337 He has saved me big $$$$ with AWESOME tyres! He also sells Sumitomo!

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
