  I used asdatyres for 4 tyres on my fiesta before christmas. They just have them sent to a local fitting centre, in my case a halfords autocentre. Pick a day / time for fitment & bring the car along to them. Totally straightforward and comfortably the cheapest.

  Blatant spam, will be listing this small KG241 for sale soon. Birmingham based, no box or idea when I would get one so a (socially distanced) collection best for now. Any local interest pm me but I will do a proper ad soon.

  I started in 89 which I think was the year disco 1 production started. Worked on most of the production lines and vehicles up to my leaving in 2004. I'm back there now at the Engineering centre in Whitley as an emissions tester.

  Did get to go round the jungle track at solihull but only the once.

  I worked on production at Solihull on these. Was there for the first, and last ones to come off the line /CSB

  Some older Reynolds assault or Ritchey WCS apex wheels would probably fit, or possibly any carbon wheels from 6 or 7+ years ago. Keep your eye on ebay or put a wanted ad on here.

  Yes newer wide rims will definitely make the tyres fit wider so your choice is limited.
