yep thats why I asked for money and waited. To the UK it was 48 Eur - no idea on GBP, thats in the hands of Paypal as yet, but I think maybe ~45GBP.

Nope, pretty good actually - Michelin Primacy - looks unused, the wheel is identical to my neighbour's Golf IV - 16 inch.

Only the thin piece of ply. If I put anything on it, it falls through into the wheel well and bends. Before it was empty then it sat on top of the tyre.

Also probably down to the DPO and his choice of oversize wheel and lower profile tyre too. If I go over 40-ish PSI there is also a fair amount of tramlining (following white lines), with a lower pressure there isn't but less of a glide effect. I need to find a compromise somewhere.
