    It'd be interesting to see what Metzler have to say about the tyre. It's not a great advert for them.

    Probably something along these lines//

    'Given its an ex bsb race tyre from 2008 it shouldn't really have been on track, and when we inspected it and saw the carcass was just about showing we cant really say the tyre was in good nick'
