Default Urgent request! Need a help (well really a tire)

So, I took a chunk out my rear tire this morning and I have a track day at Grattan tomorrow. Can't drive with a chunk missing and I cannot find a replacement at any local tire shops. I run stock sized Z1 Star Specs in the rear. Anyone have a spare? I know it is an odd request. If all else fails, I am going to have to buy a set for 4 tires...not that I have much to choose from. I am probably going to have buy PS2s if I want to hit the track tomorrow.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. So you are looking for Star Specs only or any tire?

My own dumb *** fault. Guess I should drink more coffee in the morning. I found a set at Discount Tire of all places. I called Kenny first, who was immediately on the case. Thanks again Kenny. As always, I appreciate your help.

Good to know, I am starting on Saturday morning. I booked hotel only for 1 day, being a cheap-***
Btw, are you not doing 2-days? Didn't see your name on Sunday's run groups.

Damn! Discount Tire f'd up. They do not have the tires. Looks like I might be driving the 335i.

That's not fun, I mean about the tires. I had a similar situation when I changed my wheels and I drove all the way to TireRack a day before picked up tires from them.

I'm not in a position to do that - especially now. I guess I will just drive the BMW.
