Ring / Spa - Tyres

[Yanto]

Ok .....stoopid question no.342 from Yanto.

As said, I am coming on ps2 but am bringing new ps2 rear and new cup front (not on rims) If the worst happened and I lost a front, would it be a safe solution to mix cup and ps2 just to get the car home at the end of trip ?

[glendog74]

Safe enough.

Cheers Rob. Incidentally, if anyone out there has a spare new front ps2 that they want to swap for a new cup, let me know. My cups on the other rims are scrubbed already so will replace all at once but I think the ps2s will be near end of life after this weekend. At least I'll only need to buy two then

Sent my rims with Cups on to my tyre man yesterday to take off the Cups that I hadnt used yet, and only put on a few weeks ago, and what does he do !! go on, bet you can guess, there isnt much you can fook up about putting tyres on ! ..... no he didnt put outside to inside, but he did put 235 on fookin 91/2J rim and vice versa , I went in my workshop this morning and it flashed through my mind, "has he done this right?" ...on checking he hadnt ! .. best spotted now though.

He must be pretty skilled to fit a 265 in 8.5J and 235 in 9.5J

Apart from the obvious mistake.... I think he is good.

Just been and got them done, hes a mate, I threw them out of the Disco at his feet and told him the problem , as in 2 sizes of rim, AND tyre, and he said " you didnt ask for them to be fitted that way" ... I quietly looked up as his 20 foot by 4 foot sign above his shop door .. pointed at it and said " **@@#### say ##££**** ..tyres up there you ***" no answer ! Im going to be tight on space with 4 x OEM wheels in back methinks .. Shim?? they fit with a cage ...dont they ? ...well dont they ?? Tyre stowage soultions please ! Pic Matt? When I bought 4 x 10J 18's back from Ring had to put one on passenger seat ...mmmm bro in law aint gonna like that fooker ! May just ratchet strap one to the roof !

No chance with a cage!

All the fooking around I'm glad I've just stayed on PS2's for now and can drive anywhere and not worry about space!
