well we've gone from wide...to...erm....narrow

Sold the a8 winters on this very forum, and bought myself some new g60's as winters/dailies, thinking was they'd arrive and i could get some fresh tyres on them before my current ones get too illegal. Was hoping to the swaparoo and put the coils on friday/saturday/sunday next week

To find this morning that one had gone flat.... FML

So today i've been rolling on a space saver - and using my Ibiza for a few days.

They shoul not have put 80 on the wheel, even if it does say KPH under it. So i hope your sticking to 50 with it on and taking corners in a boring fashion! I used mine a few times, on the front, it felt, drove and sounded like it was just rolling on the metal rim, so noisey and no grip at all. Dangerous in my opinion, so with my sensible side i bought a new 14" steel and tyre for the boot :coffee:

Tidy looking Arosa though, 1.4S Manual is not a common spec either. B)

Yeah I've stuck to under 60 when i used it- am using the Ibiza sc until my g60's arrive :)

And yeah from looking around a late 1.4s is a rare beast...she's in ok nick but has been cleaned using a housebrick by the previous owner lol

I thought I was the only one that bought things and never fitted them and sold them

at cut price.

the uk for everyone else lol

Gottis are still here, but I needed tyres all round urgently and there's no rush to run polished splits coming upto winter...so g60's running 195/40/15's will be the dailies and then the gottis will find their way on for next year if the cars still here :)

Also i need to know if there's a Market for the standard rims or skip them????
