hi, i have purchased a full sized alloy for my car of ebay to replace the stoopid space saver they put in the mark3 gti, i am now on the look out for a tyre, my local scrap yard has a car with good 205/65/15v tyres on it, however my car has 205/50/15v on it, wud this difference be ok for use as a spare?
i have a 195 55 15 tyre as a spare and 195 50 15 all round outside. Even the quick fit guy suggested it. No problem as you probably get the puncture repaired/replaced and refit it. Would recommend brands hatch on mismatched tyres though
No that tyre size is wrong, and would mean there would be no point having a full size spare as you'd still have to take to easy as it's wrong. Why no just buy a new one, a 205/50VR15 budget is only about 25 quid.
i supose i could be talked into parting with it!!!! Obviosuly cost a bit to post it, but i am attending utterly v dubberly if you are, we cud do business there!!! Let me know on here how to contact you!
What's wrong with spacesavers anyway? If you fit a 205/65 instead of a 205/50, you'll have a tyre which is about 6cm higher than the rest...
Drop me an email at stefanonline03@hotmail.com I will be coming to utterly v dubberly so we can meet there. Cheers Mate.
i wasnt necessarily going to the the 20/65 on the car just wondered if it wud be ok, thought not, but had the chance of getting a near brandnew tyre for a tenna so as u cud imagine was interested in it!!!
