Id call local tyre places.

I once got a part worn tyre from a place I thought only did new tyres. They only charged me £20 notes and it was canny good tbh.

I know a place that does them. I went into save on (BK), but when i went in i was told their part worns are limited and ordered by customers in advance. There are plenty of places selling Part worns around the country, it just seems their tight down here.

I had a better idea though, get some wheels, wheels/tyres used is like the same price as getting 4 new tyres, and ive called a shop who has a set with 6mm of tread on, lol 6mm will last me like 2 years :P, plus ill be getting 16s instead of 15s, or if i can find some 17s maybe, but my preference is to stick to OEM wheels.

If you change your wheel size then it might put your speedo out of alignment. Ive heard it can do for some cars.

Ive also see people I know with bigger wheels and the ride quality is really hard and rediclious and its hard to turn the wheel too.

Apparently as you go up in the size you need to change to a different profile and certain size to profile ratios dont effect it.

As for the hard ride, its a hard ride already, and thats what i enjoy, feeling the road :P unlike my old motor.

For now i just bought a set of part worns for £50 for 4 fitted, so that will tie me over til i find some new wheels
