Picked up a set of used 225/60-16 van tyres a couple of months ago
and have finally got round to having 2 of them fitted on the back.
Gone are the car tyres from the front, so now have the old rear 195/65s on the front.

They look like they're outa the arches, but the treads still under ... just :twisted:
And the side door still opens :!: ... just.

So chuffed I got the tyre white pen out a touched in the writing.
