    Second Spare

    My Puma 110 dual cab is fitted with GG 235/85/R16 tyres.
    If I use an alloy spare (second spare) off a Disco 1 that is 205/80/R16, does this work, or will I drive around in circles??

    There's around 2.5" diameter difference so I wouldn't drive too far with your 2nd spare fitted. OK for an emergency though.

    So just change the tyre on the rim to a larger size?

    That'd be a good idea.

    Also, if the other wheels on your 130 are steelies, then don't forget to take five wheel nuts to suit the extra alloy spare.

    Thanks Gents, the wheels on my 110 are already alloy - the rims and nuts should be fine.
