lambert:
what does the law say with regard to fitting narrower tyres than manufacturer spec?

At a guess, the important things are speed & load ratings


Just so long as you're not going 'silly-narrow', but replacing a '235' (or '265') with a '205' will be fine, as that's the original size (presuming it's the Discovery that you're on about)


'Space-saver spares' are for temporary use only

Hightower:
Don't forget that your insurers may want to know as well . . . . . . .

lambert:
sorted now. apparently it depends on speed and load rating tho if a tyre is m+s marked speed is exempt. insurance are not bothered.

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
As far as I'm aware, the only rule is not to mix cross ply with radial. Or am I just showing my age?
