Just a little update on my shitty mobile. Went to silverlake today to get myslef some new tyres. I was then told that they did not have tyres my size . Then there is NO wheels with the same size PCD, and central bore hole .So looks like im gunna get a clio sooner rather then later :approve: however it wont be a sport . So just wanted to know wat clio is best to get when its nota sport?????

A tyre fitters didn't have the tyres you need, so you're buying a new car?

DCI 100 would be my choice. may see you around if you from Totton

What tyre size are you after?

 

[GazST]

The scrapyard? Try mitcheldever they normally do oddball sizes or online www.blackcircles.com

Silverlakes is a scrapyard.

I have been everywhere from mitcheldever to the scrapy, no where does as they all go through the same vinatge trye dealers. I can go to beaulie but they cost af to much compared to the car, so theres no piont. So a DCI 100 then is a good choice?? the wheels themselves are at 12 1/2 inch. No modern tyres fit the size

Oh I see.

 

[GazST]

Are they the 160/65/315 ?

 

[Metro-wIz-Kid2011]

yh they are. why u hava lead??

 

[GazST]

Not much choice lol only ones I could see where http://www.roadtyres.com/160-65-315-S.asp or check ebay for wheels/tyres from another metro

cheers m8, i cant find any on ebay, as i dnt want part worn.

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

There are a few sets on ebay. not going for pennies but cheaper than a new car.

Im sure there must be some gta/gti wheels knocking about if you look hard enough on the interweb

as i dnt want part worn.

Dont blame you, I wouldnt want part worn on mine

 

[Metro-wIz-Kid2011]

Metro owners club go through beaulieu which would cost me arm and leg as they get discount i aint paying joing fee just for tyres. Im off now, thank for all help, if you find anymore at all, it would be gr8 if it was passed on

Its £10 for the year to join Metro owners. It will be worth the £10 expense as you may find other discounts available to you not just the tyres.

I have easily covered the cost of my membership and another £30 saved on top from joining cliosport.

My thoughts too.

£2 a tyre if you include the spare.
