tyres

Why is there no spare wheel or jack in the new Kia Rio? It costs €115 to replace puncture sealant cannister that is supplied instead - that is crazy!

Hi,

Is the 2005 BMW X3 2.0-litre diesel permanent four-wheel drive or not? If it is would it be very hard on tyres and suspension?

What tyre pressure should I inflate to on my 1999 Citroen Xsara VTR 1999, engine size 1,800cc?

Cheers

Hello, I would like to know how much it would cost to replace one standard size tyre on 2010 BMW X5 please.

I put new tyres on my car about six months ago, but just got cheap ones as cash was a bit tight. I have never been happy with them. The car (Mazda3 saloon) hasn't handled the same since. The slightest bit of moisture and there is very little grip at all. And with the cold weather lurking I am not looking forward to driving in ice and snow with them. So, basically, I am going to get new (better) tyres in the next few days, but I am not sure what to get.

I don't mind spending a few euro on them. I'd rather do that and feel safer. Should I be looking at winter tyres, or will this mean forking out more money in spring for regular tyres again? Or is there an all-weather option that would see me safely through the winter but wouldn't need to be taken off in a couple of months?

Thanks, Rob

Hello the better half has a 2005 BMW 116, which has 16-inch alloy wheels. These are very badly buckled and have run flat tyres. Is it possible to fit ordinary 16-inch steel wheels and ordinary tyres on it and would any 16-inch wheel do the job i.e. VW Golf steel wheels?

Thanking you.

Hi guys,

Should I buy all-weather tyres?

Can you recommend any budget all-wheel drive SUV or estate car? I tow a caravan for a couple of weeks over the summer and live on a road that occassionally floods so four-wheel drive could be useful. I have a Hyundai Sante Fe with two-wheel drive at moment and it is particularly poor in snow or slippy conditions. Would you have any recommendations?

Hello,

I drive a Renault Vel Satis 2.0 Privilege Hatchback. The tyres are 225/55 on 17-inch wheels. Please let me know the recommended tyre pressures, front and rear.

Thanks

I have just bought a Kia Sportage and I am looking to replace one of the front tyres. I only need one as the spare has not been on the car and is still new. I am looking for a Bridgestone 235/60 R16. Do you know who has this tyre at a good price?

Thank you
