FS: 19†FFRR wheel & tyre D3/D4
Had this [and is ideal] as a spare.
Wheel is in very good condition with no visible marks.
Tyre is 111 load rating and has around 4mm tread in centre and although a bit less at the edges, it would appear road legal.
It has had at least one puncture and I can’t see any cuts or nicks, but I can’t tell you more than that as I’ve never driven on it.
Ideal as spare or to replace a damaged wheel.
only £75

Ron did you carry this as a spare while running the big stormers like me?

Yes, did do.
Never ran that one on my D4, but ran an 18" when I had my stormers/UHP's on my D3.

So am I right in thinking this will be sound as a spare with the large cooper LTZ me and you run?
They work out the same size?
Sorry for all questions

No, it's a different rolling radius.
The Stormer/LTZ combo we have is oversize.
The 19" did work ideal for me as a spare.
But an auto D3 may detect this difference in rolling radius and limit the gear changes up past 4th.
This is just a safety mode - gears can be changed up by command shift.
I certainly wouldnt be running about on a semi permanent basis on it.
But if it's just whilst the puncture is repaired then no issue IMO.
For the limited time it would be used, for me it was a far better/cheaper option than getting another expensive stormer/ltz combo and semi deflating the tyre it to fit under the rear.
As sods law, when you need to use it, you wont have a pump or it'll be p!ssing it down, in the dark on the hard shoulder of the M1 at 5pm ... and you need to blow up a semi flat spare!...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I run stormers on 285/50/20 and had a blow out on the M6 (a nail not a problem with the wheel)

So I bought a second hand stormer and tried to fit it with de-flated tyre under the motor.
Not a chance with the tow bar I have fitted...
Gutted!!

TheDoc46, do we presume you have a NON LR towbar fitted? As I woud have thought there should be enough room for a 20in as they are a factory fit available option AND presumably you can have any LR tow bar optioned as well.
Worth us knowing please.
CliveIf it don't fit the third time - try a bigger hammer
