What should I do about my tyre problem?
At my MOT I got an advisory note saying that the nearside front tyre (Kumho KU 235/45/R18) had a bulge on the inside wall.
Both front tyres have approx 5mm tread left. Should I have both front tyres replaced (and keep the good one as a spare in case of a puncture)? Or should I only replace the damaged one? My Grandis only has a silly space saver spare?

Yes. Replace both and keep the good one as a spare.

I have a 2002 Toyota RAV4 with 16-inch wheels. I would like to replace them with 18-inch wheels because I believe they would give me a better ride. Any reason why not to?
