Now while the A465 is nice and reasonably straight, the amount of Scamera vans on this road would soon see me off the road.

Adjusted the tyre pressures to 32 PSI all round and checked the spare wheel.
The wheels on the car are 18s - the spare in the boot is a 16 ??
If I get a puncture, I can only go 50mph (big sticker on the spare wheel telling me) - presumably straight to the nearest garage.

While I didn't expect to get an alloy in the boot, I would have thought the tyre should be the same size as the others - No ?!?
Hi, the rolling radius of a 17" Comet alloy and the steel spare is the same on the Classic V70. I assume that it'll be the same for your car - the actual width from the centre of the alloy to the outside of the tyre should be the same if you measure both the spare and the alloy - anybody want to comment on this?
