Used spare tyre
« on: February 19, 2016, 06:31:21 PM »
Hey guys,
I delaminated my from right tyre last night (just old), so I've switched my spare (which is 100% new...) and I'm now looking for a used (legal) slim-as-possible tyre that I can throw on my spare rim.  Rim is standard 15 x 8" Rally so I think the minimum tyre is a 215.
Or, I'd happily look at a "Space saver" option since it will be a limp-home-spare anyway.  Wheel only has to last until my current tyres 'rapidly wear out'....
I'd appreciate any ideas/options.
Cheers

Try going to a tyre  place sure they could find something that fits. There is a place on Fairford Rd padstow that specialises in  2nd hand tyres

Good idea. I'm sure that most local tyre shops change out well worn (but still legal) tyres regularly. Might be as simple as paying for a swap, fit and balance. Sure beats my original idea of changing it old school by hand (I figured that I could do with the challenge and exercise😜).
Thanks for the direction change. Much better idea!
