But the what if could be for anything. Its 50/50 on pretty much everything it either happens or it wont.

It's just a 'what if' that wasn't worth the risk, if anything was to happen as a result of the repair you'd be kicking yourself for not just spending a couple of hundred more on a fresh set of tyres. It's not like you can't still use the tyres after just not when you are flat out!
On another note, you managed to get hold of R888's really easily, everyone I know is struggling to get hold of a set!

They are still coming into the country, various companies that supply race series are fine.
