Just found another sting in a newer car, the tyres I referred to in my post a week ago were because one of the front tyres got a puncture, this week she got one in a rear tyre. Now the wife's car, a 68 plate KIA Stonic doesn't have a spare as standard which makes a puncture a pain in the proverbial, so I decided to get another wheel. New alloy from the dealer £354 plus the tyre (Michelin XClimate £160) OUCH! thought I'd look for a second hand wheel, a decent one on ebay is near £100 without tyre, (eventually settled on two with good tyres for £260 so not too bad), but there are people on the forum offering wheels for my old V70 for just half of that.
