Hi all, i have just bought a freelander 1 td4 02, it has 17 inch wheels, fitted with 225 55 17 tyres but i have noticed the spare wheel is a 16 inch, doing tyre size comparison a 225 60 16 is only 3mm smaller diameter. Do you think this would be ok or should i search for a 17 inch spare?
many thanks
Gareth

Hi folks
Just reading the thread I know all wheels and tyres should be same size and makes but what happens if you have a puncture if like me my spare is same size and make but is brand new and the ones on the car are about 4_5 mm less in tread. I have a slow puncture and it looses about 2psi per day but I darent put spare on is it safe till I can get to garage

some body may have swopped your wheels as I am sure they should be 16 inch on that year.
