Have finally sorted tyres out so thought I'd swap the wheels round.....got nuts loose but wheels won't release from hubs! Worried about hitting with hammer as could break alloys on my 94 Mav, and booting them might cause jack to slip. Anyone know the best way?

As usual, thanks mate!

In my hanbook for a 1994 model it says 215/80 is original size - so as there is no real difference I might as well get 215/80 the cheaper size?

Am making all four the same size. so should I go for all 235/75 or all 215/80 for best in snow?

As documented elsewhere I have had a mixture of 235/75 x 15 and 215/80 x 15 on my Maverick. Now about to get all four the same. What are the advantages of both? Performance in snow is my main concern.

No -shedman came from a long protracted process of erecting a shed someone gave me - it became one of those jobs I was always going to finish...........

Terrific site and prices - and in one of my favourite towns, Whitehaven. thanks Marra!

Will wait a bit longer and follow your line. Thanks

Well I have two good treaded 235/75 x 15 Grabbers which seem to be about £85 each, but have notices some Kingpins on the net at about £45 but they are remoulded. My odd spare is a Michelin, and the similar one offered is a Federal.(both the smaller size)

Thanks for your help, guys. When finances allow, will get all four the same. The only ones i can afford currently advertised seem to be remoulds!

Thanks, useless for 4wd then but ok for on-road summer 2wd use?

Good, so that would be legal. The spare I have has a brilliant tread but is 215/80 x 15, whereas the others are 235/75 x 15. I know where I can get another good 215, so should be in order to use it to pair up on the front?

Further to my other thread on use of an odd tyre, is it legal to use a pair of similar sized tyres on one axle and another sizes pair on the other axle? If so, would it be larger two on the rear axle?

What if you had two of one size on one axle and two of another size on the other axle?

I get your point, but intrinsically it contradicts itself! ie what use is a spare you cannot legally run?

Interesting answers -thanks! Also interesting is that it passed MOT when visible mounted on tailgate!

I noticed that my spare is a 215/80 x 15 and the :nenauother tyres are 235/75 x 15. Would it be illegal to use the spare?

Thanks -have had Grabber repaired and it will be put in place. Just wondered if the Michelin is a decent tyre?

Got a puncture on my Mav which had 4 Grabbers on it - brilliant in snow. Spare is a Michelin 4x4 M&S which I have left on o/s rear. Anyone with experience of these tyres? Ok to leave on or should I put the repaired Grabber back on?

Are Michelin any good? My Mav had four Grabbers on, and how good they were in the snow. Got puncture and put the spare on - a Michelin 4x4 Mand S. Seems ok, any comments on them?
