16" or 17" alloys and Tyres

[Rich2508]

Must be very good condition and tyres must have at least 5mm of tread left. Needs to be within 50 mile radius of DERBY due to lack of time to collect. I need to replace the tyres on my S-Max before the end of the year, so if you are thinking of upgrading yours let me know.

50 miles of Derby ruins it

I've a set of 17s with ContiWinterContact tyres fitted available .......

Russell,

Where are you? What are they fitted on?

Rich, just be careful with insurance.... Fitted 16" alloys to my LX last year and paid an extra 22 quid on the insurance... After shopping around this year, I will be removing my 16" alloys as the cheapest I could get the insurance with the Alloys added was 98 quid more than the lowest quote I got for the standard steel wheels fitted! That said there is no tread left on my alloys, so won't be selling straight away anyway, just wanted to let you know about the pitfalls of upgrading to alloys on an LX!

Wussell wisides in Wuxembourg, which is quite a way away...

Thanks for advice, I will check with insurers though last time when I fitted aftermarket 18" alloys on our Touran they wern't worried.
