Was always told that anything 4x4 should have Tyres replaced in sets of four by tyre blokey. Obviously in his interest when in 2002, a set of Tyres was just into four figures on RS4. Have wised up a bit since that. The difference in rolling radius is only thing that will upset centre diff and that's 8mm between new and slick/bald. It is good to have pair of Tyres on an axle so may be prudent to swop back and fronts so replacement odd is on rear. Only a thought  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Many thanks to Duckworth parts, alloy wheel and tyre arrived at 8am this morning and is currently with local tyre place having tyre from cracked alloy fitted to it.

I am going to get the cracked alloy wheel professionally repaired then use it as a spare with the 'free' tyre that came with the alloy wheel from Duckworth Parts.

I am therefore looking to sell the spare wheel which is 255/50/R19 107Y Continental Cross Contact.


Any offers?

Thanks

Paul

Good solution. Remember though that the full sized wheel will look rather prominent fitted in the spare position so obvious to the local scumbag spare wheel thieves. Unless you already have one, fitting an anti-theft device would be highly recommended. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Not quite that bad. You can buy one from a forum member called Ray. Think mine bought 6 months ago was about £85 delivered. Link to the details: http://www.rrsport.co.uk/forum/topic23416....=protector 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

Have a look at this link

I ended up telling them to stick there 50% contribution to 2 new wheels as they would not agree to me fitting NON runflats..

With all the gubbins on these cars, working on and off road, a slight difference in tyre shouldnt make a difference really.

Yes, ideally change a pair, but in real world, it will be fine.

I've driven 3 months on 3x 19" with MTR's and 1x18" with at2. No problem at all.
I'm sure if I was racing it, it would be different, but no errors or detrimental effects at all. Bodsys Brake Bible

I have just cracked my wheel and its gone to be repair as my local tyre shop sent my jag wheel off to be welded a few weeks ago and all sorted and no problem so let hope it works with the overfinch ! It cost £80 Black Overfinch
