Ahhhh poo, thats gonna be another wad to pay out on rubber then. Do you think I'd be able to pick that size tyre up part worn? I just wouldnt be able to pick up 4 new tyres at the same time it would be be bout 120 at least :?

You can probably get 4 part worn fitted for £100 (that's what I got offered from a few places) :)
