The tyres fitted to my wife’s 2009 Nissan Micra 1.2 Tekna are Continental 185/50R16 and I think they give a slightly hard ride. Is it feasible to increase the profile without messing the job up?
I have a 2010 Volkswagen Caddy with 225/45 RF17 tyres. I am a firm believer in winter tyres. Do I use the 17-inch alloy wheels and pay the garage to fit winter tyres, or buy smaller steel wheels and fit...
