  1. Volkswagen ID.3
    I've had my ID.3 for about 6 months now, so I'm bit late asking this... Should I have received an emergency tyre repair/inflation kit with the car? Not that I'd want to use it if I had one, but is it now legal to sell a new car without? Without that there's no option at all but to call the AA...

  4. Volkswagen Golf GTE
    Hi all. Looking for a bit of advice on a issues I’ve discovered with my rear tyres. I had Michelin pilot sport 4s put on all 4 wheels about a year ago. Only done ~5k since fitting. I noticed a general rumble not long after but given the mileage on the car (currently 75k) I thought it’s probably...
  5. Renault ZOE
    Hi, I've spent a while searching through past threads on jacking up a Zoe ZE40 but not found a definitive answer to where it's safe to put a trolley jack... I need to get four new tyres but want to make sure the tyre place doesn't inadvertently put the jack through the battery or any of the...
  6. First Gen Nissan LEAF (LEAF24 & LEAF30)
    Last mot 2 tyres needed changing and one recommended the Nissan garage replaced with 215 50 R17 W. When you put in Reg mark on tyre sites recommended is the 215 50 R17 V. I have also read that You can invalidate your car insurance by fitting new tyres that have a lower speed rating than the...

    Short story: I'd like to sell a pair of Rosava Itegro 195/55R16 87V tyres, just 2 months old, with less than 2000 miles on them. Make an offer, and we can arrange a suitable point for collection - I'm in North London but willing to travel a reasonable distance on a weekend (we like day trips!)...

  10. Renault ZOE
    Apologies if this is long but utterly fed up with Renault. I'll try and be as brief as possible We have a Sept 2016 Zoe which we've owned since March 2019. Feb this year the standard 'Adjust Tyres Pressure' message popped up which I assumed was due to the sudden drop in temp. Reset the TPMS and...

    Ok, message worthy of deletion. Apparently the tyres that looked as if they were coming off were supposed to look that way. Guess I've had my head in the sand wrt tyres for th elast few years...

    I had my Soul serviced and had its MOT done before the lease runs out on Monday. I am buying the car and thought why not let the lease company pay for it. It passed with flying colours. My front tyres are nearing the end of their life. I have about 4mm to go. What are people's thoughts on...

    I was just wondering why my tyres are speed rated W I’ve been told that if I put less than W on, it could invalidate my insurance! Does anyone know why it’s got a W speed rating when the cars top speed is 122mph. W is for cars over 160mph. Is it because it’s all wheel drive?
