Ahh a TYRE thread (because we've never had one)
« on: 08 June 2015, 11:49:46 »

Bought a set of 5 alloys for the lady - the original PFL CDX rims. No, they're not particularly pretty, and certainly not the largest wheels at 15" but at £40 for five wheels (and a few miles of tread left on two) can't complain, excellent condition, and they're original for the car, so good for Billing wheels  :)

Old spare wheel rubber will fit too, as a bonus (when I find some). But for the short-term might actually end up buying new tyres (the horror!!) but just out of interest, there's lots of info about what tyres for 16s, 17 and 18s on Omegas, but would these experiences with tyres be less-relevant on my piddly 15s, or every bit as important?

So in a nutshell - "wot tyres for me 15s?"

Thanks in advance :-)

A combination of Triangle, Autogrip and another make of equal 'quality' make my 16" miggy handle flipping awful.
