Post by: muddyjames on June 15, 2006, 19:56:41: Cheers Denise. I saw those in the for sale area but they are smaller than what I have I am affraid and I want to stick to the same size if possible.

So Marjan you think they are ok then :D

Any ideas how much they roughly weigh for a courier to pick them up? 10-12kg each? Also how much do you think the alloy rims weigh as if he is chucking them in for free I may as well see if I can get a bulk deel on a courier and then flog the rims on eblag to get a bit of money back. Shame the tyres are other end of the country!

Yep Colways are fine but can be a little bit twitchy in the wet if pushed in bends. I got 4 tyres couriered to me in Yorkshire from down south for Ã‚Â£13.

Post by: muddyjames on June 16, 2006, 22:22:42: I see there are alot of 205/70 tyres about. what difference would the 205 make? is it narrower or difference in height?

Post by: Manicminer on June 16, 2006, 22:25:19: 205 are narrower

Post by: muddyjames on June 16, 2006, 22:27:00: what would that mean when I am driving? Less grip on the road I guess but would it be a noticable difference?
