cheers for that mate :) i thought the studs didnt look far out either, think il pop back down in that case, there currently on 195/65/15 and 195/60/15 is this too big atm?
what you reckon would be a good tyre size?

Yeah the tyre size is massive! You need either 195/55/15 or 195/45/15 :)

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) :)
