    Matt...

    These were on a standard car...no rolled arches...no worries.

    Now placed on For Sale Section.

    the problem is caused by the car being lowered at the front. the tyres catch at the moment with 185/60/13 tyres on.

    bump.

    will also consider different profiles and widths as I'm getting pretty desperate, but need to be smaller than 60 profile and narrower than 185, local to bedford area or be willing to post

    £58 is good (not the cheapest though ) but I'm hoping to get 2 for around £50. there's some on ebay but the sellers either haven't replied or won't post them despite it costing less than a tenner

    will have a look on mini forums, thanks. any i should go to in particular?

    Theres really no point in buying cheap shite tyres though, thats one thing i realised about a year ago when i put some decent yokos on my gti the confidence they give you is unreal (in the rain is a lot different ) so they end up making the car a lot safer should you get up shit creek ever and need the tyres to grip
