15" steels? Why change from 14" to 15"? 14" tyres are cheaper :wink:

Thinking of better gearing for motorway work , the 15 " remoulds are very reasonable up here 30 quid a pop and last a good few miles
So is there an easy fit for the 15"s

imo, you might be better off with new tyres for motorway work, I pay 38.00 ( per pop ) for my new tyres

Totally agree with you, i was in my mates car once and he was doing a ton (on a private road of course) and we could hear this ticking noise, we thought nothing more of it until we were in a car park and i noticed a big chunk of rubber flapping off his front tyre which was a remould, it was about a 2" square bit of rubber hanging off, we changed it for the spare there and then :shock: :shock:
