Folks,
As I am about to purchase 4 265 70 17s for my 120, I was wondering what to do should I puncture one of them this weekend at Salisbury plain.
Until the pocket money man comes again, I will have to live with the 120's standard spare which is the 265 65 17.
As the profile is different between the two but by a small margin, would it be ok to drive home (100 miles or so) with a different tyre size on the same axle or not?
I see my options as:
Deflate the other tyre slightly - this will bring them closer together.
Borrow someone else's spare so I have two of the same on an axle. (Could the CD then take some punishment?)
Just drive as the difference is so small it would not matter.
If I could remember anything about pie, I would work it out.
Cheers,
Crispin
p.s.
I know it's PI...
