Word is that there is a pit somewhere near the event village where all the teams chuck tyres that have only had one or two runs on them, my friend swears he got a set of High Rollers one year and it's not till now that I've begun to question how easy it would be for me to get a free set myself

Sorry, not buying that. All I can picture is WC team managers queuing up to chuck their tyres into a secret pit in the woods hoping nobody finds them? Or if it's not meant to be secret then a pit where people scarper to like rats to food in a bid to get the best tyres before others?

Yeah, I find both sides just as believable, I want to believe I can get the classic something for nothing however, it doesn't seem logical. Also just remembered half the teams sell used tires for next to nothing, ahh it shall be deemed a bs rumour

They'll just be selling them for buttons like other years is my guess.

Pretty sure the teams sell all the used tyres for dirt cheap, like fiver/tenner for a pair.

I'm pretty sure there is a secret pagan tyre burying ceremony that takes place deep in the forest...

£10 for a pair is a steal anyway

Glentress and inners are both unridable once you head up the hill a bit.
