Request for 16" tyres....

I'm having a little issue with tyres at the moment.

I've picked up 2 punctures in 3 days this week :( and it's left me with a dodgy tyre choice.

Basically due to suspension I can only run a maxium size of 205/45 16s on the front, and up to 205/55 16s on the rear. And I have the following tyres....

2x 205/45 16s (Road Legal tyres) currently on front
2x 205/50 16s (Road Legal tyres) currently on rear

2x 225/50 16s on S14 drifting rims
some other rubber and a load of 14's.

The problem is that the 205/45 16s don't offer any grip (Wanlis) where as all the other 16"s I have offer loads more grip. This means that if it is wet at D1 Round, I have a big understeer problem, and no tyres that will fit on the front.
Does anyone have any 205/40 16s on S14 rims that they would swap should it rain at D1 Round 4 this Sunday??

Normally I would go to one of my local tyre people and do a swap, but I'm helping my sister to move tomorrow and I've got to swap over some brake pads. So I don't have the time (or the moneny) at the moment.

I'm worried that if it rains at Round 4, I don't have a setup choice with the tyres I have to eliminate understeer.

If anyone is prepared to swap some for the day I'd be very grateful.
 
I have a 205/45/16 Goodyear Eagle on an S14 rim, which I'll be taking. It's blue and the tyre on it is just road legal. I'll swap it with you if it'll help you out in the wet.......
 
Best I can do is a 205/45 and a 195/45, I think. I'll have to check. I think the 195 is a Toyo Proxes. They are both pretty well worn, maybe just road legal, but what would you expect from drift tyres? :)
