    Will 7,5J rims with 205 tyres work well?

    Will an 205 tyre fit an 7,5J rim without being steched? Are there brands more suitable for wide rims than others?

    I know there has been numerous threads in the past about tyres and alignment on the FRs. I got a flat tyre yesterday and while getting it repaired I asked the guys to check all the tyres. I was shocked to find the rear ones were boarder line illegal. The centre of the tyre had about 5mm...

    Tyres for the TD (Seat!)

    Narrowed it down to the two usual suspects, Falkens or F1 Assyms. Ignoring price - which one please. Leaning toward the F1's (as the GSD's on the Accord are excellent).

  15. Alhambra Tyres

    I am having great difficulty, and indeed incuring a great deal of expense, sourcing new tyres for my Seat Alhambra 2004. It would seem that only one manufacturer makes them - Bridgestone - and because they are classed as commercial ones, they are that little more expensive. Does anyone...
  16. Uneven wear on front tyres

    Looks like I've been running with front tyres over inflated. Uneven wear with centre of tyres much more badly worn than outer edges. I've tended to keep a good eye on tyre pressure. I'm been using what's inside the filler cap (the manual doesn't actually give any info): 32F 29R. Tyres are about...

    Thought I had a puncture in a rear tyre this w/e gone,so round to the tyre shop for a repair."They cant be repaired" says the tyre man "they are so old the rubber is cracking up and loosing air".
