fitting narrower tyres

Recommended Posts

On my spacesaver.... originally has a 125 width tyre.

..... but can only find 115 wide at (any) breakers.

 

can I get away with it?

 

(apparently, according to elite, continental have stopped making 125/70/15 ! )

You need the full size spare option :) Didn't want to fit anything in the boot anyway...

A can of Tyreweld is just as good as a spacesaver in most circumstances

 

aah but then you end up with a tyre full of that sticky cr*p which needs cleaning out before doing a proper repair. Personally I don't fancy doing 70+mph with a tyre I know has a hole in it..........

70?!

 

Spacesavers are usually only rated for 50 mph... I don't think you should be doing 70 in either case.

ha-ha - bloody 'ell no, not 70 on a spacesaver!

 

But anyway - back to the point - can you put a 115 tyre on a rim designed for 125s ???
