Had my tyres fitted today at Spinning Wheel Tyres. Got to meet 2 cool dudes there; Mark who’s got a clean R32 Skyline, and Mick who was my tyre technician for the day. It’s been a long time coming. I’m all set for a track day, bring it on!

Screwed! Tyre technician Mick was quick to find out why I’ve had a slow leak in my drivers side rear.

Turns out my old set of R888’s were manufactured in 2007! I knew they were old, but not 8 years old!!!

Mick fitting the tyres with my wheels upside down for that little bit safety against rim lip damage.
