ive just had a puncture on my drivers front wheel,and although im going to wim on tuesday for the geo to be done again i need a new tyre,is it better to get 1 or do both fronts while im there ?.

the 1 with the puncture has worn completely on the inside edge,im not sure if the otherside is as bad cos it was dark and wet so just wanted to get it swapped with my spare 17''.

oopsy-that would be a bit offputting-mind you people do drive on spacesavers which is along those lines-just drive careful if you do as its bound to behave a bit different

That will be ok though, since the outside circumference of the wheel will be almost identical.

IS200 Turbo project now just about complete ! See my thread here and leave your comments.
Now running standalone Syvecs ECU and no stock ECU !

always better to have the same on each axel for water planing, but the back is not as bad as the front, so same on the front and odd on the back is ok, better to buy 2 new for the front and use the best for the rear
