Sun out, carcoon deflated, new Michelins, what a blast, nearly as good around corners as the old tyres . Wink wink.

No spare, wheelbrace or jack as normally you will have nowhere to store the punctured wheel when you take it off. (Abnormally you can rig something up.)

 

You could offer those tyres to the Porsche museum  

Noticed a screw in the tyre at home so thought I would take it off and have a drive to local tyre place in my mini but had to get tools out of my shed to Jack up and remove wheel, mini has run flat tyres too so nothing in there either!!.

Agree with the others that you need to change those tyres, surprised they haven’t been advisories on the MOT before.

but if you are going to wrap it up for winter and not use it at all, why change the tyres now? Do it as the first job when it comes back out otherwise it’s sitting on them for 6mths without any movement (unless you jack it up will in storage?)

probably doesn’t make a huge difference, but seems a bit daft putting on fresh new rubber and then not using it 

It will be used when weather is ok, don’t really drive it in bad weather because I love driving it with the roof down

Seriously, you have 15 year old summer tyres as winter approaches, but you will prioritise ceramic coating over replacing them?

Yup, seeing as it’s booked in for this afternoon for a 4 day process and the tyres I’ve just ordered won’t be here until Monday, if that’s ok ?,

Car then going into its carcoon until decent weather.

Just checked tyres, 4 digits 1505 so looking like about April 2005 !!,, car drives fantastic and handles like on rails but after it’s had the old ppf removed and been ceramic coated , new Michelin tyres going on.

cheers for info, but why oh why No wheelbrace?. Also will the tyre sealant still be ok ?

Had to have a puncture repair on a rear tyre today. Fitter said that the tyres were looking old !. My car is a 2005s with 9k on the clock so take it they will be the originals , plenty tread on all . Will they be ok or should I change them all ?
