Can anyone help with the spec for my wheels. My mini one (2004) needs an MOT soon and I need 4 new tyres and the price that you can get 4 new tyres for, somepeople are selling alloys with tyres for the same price (not new tyres of course but road legal and may need refurb at a later date) plus I would like to change the alloys on the car anyway. Looking for the spec that I can get for my car so that I do not buy the wrong size, diam, ect. Plus can anyone tell me where else sells wheels rather than ebay and gumtree....


Cheers. Colin

There are a lot of high street shops that are struggling and you can get some amazing deals. I got mine from a shop in ayr, he was selling them for 800, i told him that i could get them on ebay for 450 so he sold them to me for that (WITH tyres) The tyres are ok not the besy but, certainly not the worst, i know there is a good shop in great western road glasgow too.

I would recommend a call to Turriff Tyres, they'll ship to you as well.

Tyres are one of the most critical performance components. A recent wet braking test 60 - 0 in Auto Express showed that one car fitted with budget tyres was still doing 27mph when a car fitted with quality tyres had actually stopped.
