picture of my..

[debse30]

for everybody that wanted to know what tyres i have they are pictured on the zone already. Go to members 316's and look at crooksees car the tyres on that are the ones he put on mine!!! they were pictured here all along!!!!!

[Splondike]

Look like 15" TSW Blades to me - are you popping along to Lakeside on Saturday now ?

[debse30]

apparently they are 16's ??? what time is lakeside meet?

[debse30]

how can i find out what size they are coz all that's written on them is what crooksee describes....?

[Splondike]

Soz for the delay - the lakeside meet is starting at 3ish but goes on into the evening normally...

If you look at the tyres they should say something like 205/50/16 the last number being the wheel diameter...

HTH

[debse30]

thanx honey...they say 205/452/r1687w????? Does that mean anythin to you??? You know sometimes i wish i was a bloke as they know EVERYTHING about cars!!! Thinkin of takin car maintainence course...

[Splondike]

hmmm - well usually 205 is the width, 45 would be the profile ie 45% of the the width, and the r16 would suggest they are 16" so 205/45/16 in normal speak...maybe someone with more tyre experience can verify...

[johnono]

dude, 45% of the width would be about 100mm.

205mm x 45mm x 16" (i think)

[Moofles]

205/452/r1687w

looks like poss mistaken a z for a 2 - as 205/45ZR16 87W is a correct marking...

[Ziggy]

Spot on Though my money'd be on it being a Z like Moofles said...

There's only a 2.6 % difference in diameter between them & standard 205/55/15

Yeah Adam is right that will be a Z doh

[debse30]

ok told you i know nothin..... So to sum it up........in my language!!

[Splondike]

[Moofles]

is it your language too mark?

[debse30]

it's definately a 2!!!!!!!!

[320Touring]

could they be metric? My old jag had some mad tyre figures like that?!

[debse30]

god knows, i reckon it's got a slow puncture or some likkle b*****d is lettin it down

[Moofles]

i thought you were going to the lakeside meet yesterday? then we could have looked ourselves!

[320Touring]

you not got a spare at all?

had the valve checked? can get new ones fitted for a fiver

No visible damage to the edge of the wheel (where the tyre sits in)?if bent or buckled it may not seal correctly.

How long does it take to deflate-days or hors or mins?

[debse30]

couldn't go to the meet i was feelin poorly will definately go to the next one...it is going down slowly it takes about a day and a half will get the valve checked tho!!

[320Touring]

if its going down slow its valve or a poorly seated tyre!

steal a dustcap from a neighbours car, fit it and see if it makes a difference

hope your'e feeling better now!

[Moofles]

methinks the poorlyness was alcohol-related

[debse30]

yeah i have to stop trying to experiment with my cooking! I will get the valve checked out and try to steal that cap!! Thanks for advice..i didn't want to go to the meet either coz my car got a slatin from some of the people on here but i do agree with alot of what was said, i mean i'm not too keen on the spoiler on it either...just wouldn't know what to say as i am quite shy

[320Touring]

oh dear *hic* i've never been in such a state!

maybe best not to bend down to look at tyres -to avoid the spinning head syndrome

[320Touring]

this bunch are a load of gents!they would never remark upon the styling of a lady's car

Go out and hold your head up high!pstyling is a personal thing

you can always remove the spoiler!it takes time and a hell of a lot of cash to get a car the way you want it so either rob a bank or save the pennies lke i'm doing

[debse30]

no it wasn't i think it was a bit of tryin to cook and drink

[debse30]

the thing is i didn't style the car you savin pennies or robbin a bank??

[320Touring]

as my gran says "both's best"

nah, penny pinching it is for me!not going out at all in the next month (so i can get the paintwork tidied up and wheels powder coated and a wild zone chip.

girlfriend is now calling the touring "the mistress"

i think it looked quite well done, it was just the spoiler as you say, but no-one would be bothered, so don't worry about that!!
