Violet Elizabeth Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 I know this one has been done to death before, so have trawled the archives ! Have decided to change Prisoners for 13X6 superlights plus 021R 185/70's. My question is do I need to get 5 new wheels/tyres or can I get away with 4 and keeping a spare prisoner on the back for "get me home". I think the overall diameters are the same so it should work ?

Casbar Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 There is no legal reason why you can't keep the Prisoner wheel for a spare, as long as the tyre is legal and the same size. There is no legal requirement to carry a spare, it just states that if a spare is carried it must be legal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartmoor7 Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 >>, as long as the tyre is the same size. Which, of course, it isn't But does it have to be, bearing in mind space saver spares?

Drumster Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 Noger, You wont regret the change for one minute. I did the exact same change as you last year and have never looked back. The difference was amazing. Mind you I did buy a spare superlite Chris Alston Se7ening - it's all miles and smile.gifsmile.gifsmile.gif 1800 Supersprint - Loud and Proud teeth.gif ...well it only sounds fast officer blush.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 Chris, Thanks thumbsup.gif It was mainly your positive noises last year that persuaded me down this route. I need the extra ground clearance. The law seems to be specific only about mixing crossply and radial, not actual sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
