Quick tyre help needed

[nicky.mattsson]

Hi all

So this morning the missus goes out to the car to pop down the shop, comes back in announcing we have a flat.... change that and notice that the one thats come of is down to the canvass, as is the other front.

2 new tyres for me then, how hard can that be, very, it seems. Size is 205/45/16 and is very uncommon, one bloke siad on 2 cars currently run that as standard, Ibiza (mine) and Mitsi Colt.

For certain reasons - which will be of no interest - i need to buy a mid range cheap thing.

Choices so far are Arrowspeed from EasyFit or Marangoni from Local place, 65 and 70 each.

Anyone had any experience of these? Which is going to last longer under general commuting

Cheers

Nick

Get a 195/45 instead? Mine is supposed to use 205/45/15, but I use 195

I only need fronts, is it legal to run different widths on either end?

I don't know but it would probably invalidate your insurance.

Only need to be the same size on each axle IIRC
