So as I had the opportunity to go to Halfords today I thought I would go and ask if they had any old bike tyres in the bin I could have. Turned out they did have 1. He said weekends are better as they would have more. The guy handed it over to me and I thanked them and left the store.

Sadly the tyre he gave me was shockingly bare, as in a mountain bike tread made into slicks. Maybe this could be useful, but I thought I needed some tread.

Off I pop to the tip, only 3 minutes away from me, and went to have a look at their bike stock. Hooray lots of bikes... for sale. However I did find a single mountain bike tyre which was very old and degrading on the side walls, but beggars can’t be choosers as they say, and off I trot with it.

I only really had today to look for a free one as I’m off tomorrow and and not around for the weekend and next weekend is Guildford.
Shall see what I can do with this set :-)

Will search Facebook for old tyres too.
