Are you sure it's 195/15? Not 195/65??

I would imagine he/she is talking about 195/65 15

Yep, typo, I missed out the 65, anyway, had all wheels off today to check pads/discs and fitted new rear pads as MOT is not far away, I noticed 3 were H rated and 1 was T, as is the unused spare which is a Continental, the plaque on the door says I can fit either T or H rated tyres. And it's a Him, the Stella in my username refers to the beer.

That makes it easy then - buy another Conti to match the spare.

Job's a good 'un.

Have another Stella - hic.

No worries, I meant to post links as my vehicle has the same tyre size as yours. Best prices I've found are at formula one autocentres. Haven't actually seen any T rated tyres in that size in search results - just H and V.

Good on you for sorting the rear pads yourself. It's something I'd like to have the confidence to be able to do one day

Boohoo

Update for anybody who reads this.
I got 2 new tyres the same as what was on the car for £122 each from tyrecity yesterday.
I was going for about the £75 tyre mark but work has told me that from next year i will not be able to use works van from home so will have to use my own car for the 80 mile round trip every day now so i thought i had better get better tyres.
Thank you for the replies.
