Tyre rating for 2010 Honda Accord - 225/50 R17 - 94W or 94Y?

Can I fit 18-inch alloys from a Ford Kuga (7.5J x 18) to my Ford S-Max (7J x 17)? I know that my friend's Ford S-Max 1.6 TDCi has 18-inch wheels from Ford, and it's a 2013 S-Max, which is the same shape as my 2011 model.

Hi guys,

My tyre pressure is usually 30psi all round and car is almost always empty and without passengers. I've to do a drive of about 350km round trip soon with three passengers and a fully loaded boot. Mostly motorway. Should I up the tyre pressures all round and to what, please?

Also, after a recent puncture the garage told me I should keep the spare at 50psi. This sounds ridiculously high and potentially dangerous if you needed to put the spare tyre on in an emergency where you couldn't check the pressure. Would be glad of any tips, thanks.

What is the correct tyre air pressure for a Kia Rio 1.4 petrol?

Hi, I recently bought a second hand car and noticed one of my rear tyres is a slightly different size (245/45 R18) to the three other tyres (245/40 R18). I am due an NCT in March; can you tell me if this would contribute to a fail? Are there any other downsides to this? Car rides and handles perfectly.

Thanks, Andy K (Kildare)

I have a 2012 Kia Rio; how much would a spare wheel cost as there is none with the car?

If my tyres are older than six years what should I do?

Hi, just wondering what the story is with tyres that are six or more years old. Mine passed in August with pass advisory and my NCT is up in a couple of weeks, but the tread on the tyres isas good as new as it has only done 2,000 miles. Will I need new tyres or will they go by condition of the set I have?

Ever heard of tyre armour? Any good? Switching from run flats and no space for spare or space saver. Any ideas?

I have switched to non run flats on my BMW 520d where there is no well in the boot to take a spare. What is my best option for get me home repair etc?
