Not mine luckily. On my Dads Mondeo, so he asked me to take him and the wheel to get another tyre fitted as he doesnt have a spare to use. We only had an hour to sort it before he needed the car so just had to get raped around Ipswich for a tyre - first place only had a michelin....for £200!
Tried a few more and eventually got a cheap budget for.....£83! 
Anyone thinking of running 17s.....don't bother! 
Although I know 205/50/17 is an odd size too.We've replaced a Wanli with a Westlake......I have no idea which was worse lol!

Crikey that is an expensive size. Even the 225/40/18's on my bora were only £55/budget tyre.

I know......couldn't believe it when the first one said £200 for a michelin...thought my Dad was gonna explode!
He had 2 new'uns just a month ago at about £80 each or 'Goodride's, I thought he was taking the piss so checked a few tyre places online and they're all well expensive. And I thought Fords were supposed to be cheap motoring lol.(12-12-2012, 06:37 PM)JJ0063 Wrote:

Pfft, V6, 24Valve, full leather heated interior, shit heap Ford!
Still, my diesel is faster than that lol.....oh wait, I mean 'was' faster.
Plus it averaged 3 times as much mpg and hadn't done 150k like the Ford. Edit - but the Ford is still working though........unlike the reliable German motor......hmm....

v6 24v full leather interior? Shame mine was only 4 pot 16v.....still spanked a shitty mondeo though!!

Please stop talking about MPG.

in all fairness, you own a mx5 and therefore he has no real reason to listen to you. in fact, why are you not banned yet?

As I said, even the Golf easily had the Mondeo!
It's not as quick as you expect it to be in all honesty, needs another ~50bhp to pull off mpg like that! Does sound fairly epic though! (12-12-2012, 07:40 PM)Curt Wrote: Please stop talking about MPG.
But theres not much else a diesel can win at.

But back on the topic of the forum...........theres a nice shiny diablo phase 2 '6 in the carpark of my Dad's flats...don't suppose its anyone from here? Has red calipers and green stuff pads if that helps, looks lowered a bit too.
Oh, and it wasn't me, unfortunately.
RE: Screwed - ozonehostile - 12-12-2012
my 16v mini runs on 205/45/r13, budgets arnt really an option because i enjoy not crashing quite alot, so have to fork out £180 per wheel for falken road legal slicks
RE: Screwed - procta - 12-12-2012
that happend to my HDI, tyre had to be sent a way to be fixed.
RE: Screwed - 306Dan - 13-12-2012
well you did that good an proper now, if your dad changes 2 tyres in the future drop the tyre size to 205 45 17, alot cheaper and done to many mondingo's while i was at ford
RE: Screwed - Dum-Dum - 13-12-2012

Not bothered either way, I wasn't paying lol. But they do seem to be expensive wherever you try, whether its because they're uncommon or becuase there's quite a lot of rubber going into that size I dunno.

in all fairness i can see his logic in that. look at the price of a 335/35/21. need a mortgage to change all 4 for a decent make.
still stupid though
RE: Screwed - Jonny81191 - 13-12-2012
Yeah but it's not due to the amount of rubber in them, I don't understand why they're highly priced, but it won't be because "there's more rubber"

It's an 'extra load' tyre at that size so there must be something different about it, more rubber or more metal, more of something anyway.
RE: Screwed - Pete - 13-12-2012
I need some new rubber for the 406, Oddball size that costs £.ra*e
