"Hi,do you have centre caps for your alloys?"
No not yet. Gonna get a set of ebay specials!!!
So, no-one using 205 70 15s???
They seem to go cheap, usually on 4x4s. Got to be better ride quality than the bouncy 195 80 15s on at the minute though.

As long as the load & speed rating is high enoug, should be ok.

205/70s are 3.61% smaller than the 195/80s, so your speedo will read faster than you are actually travelling. 225/70s are a better size and are very little different in price - they are also more readily available with higher load ratings.

Yeah, the 1% difference was with the standard 215 65 15s I think. I don't like the 195 80's at all.
£70 for 4 new Michelins...load index 104H.....I am having a good week
"The Michelin 4x4 Synchrone performs superbly in the dry, wet and snow with excellent grip.
Tread life is very good.
The tyre is especially recommended by Range Rover drivers.
However, most drivers agreed that the Synchrones are noisy and the ride is fairly firm"
And, I've just bought £180litres of rapeseed oil for £20
This Bongo is bringing me good luck
