My rear tyres were looking a little low on tread and then I got a nail through one of them which has forced the issue of replacement.

I am currently running 205/65R15 with inner tubes on some old wire wheels with rim strips. Dunlops on the back from memory.

Not sure I can go much wider on the rims I have with tube fitted but willing to be told I am wrong. I was advised on that by Beaulieu Classic Tyres when this set were fitted.

Anything with a taller profile seems to be for vans and winter which I don't want.

Blackcircle won't fit inner tubes but recommend these for £48 delivered : http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/kumho/ecowing-es01-kh27/205/65/R15/H/94/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d205%26profile%3d65%26rim%3dR15%26speed%3dAny&tyre=33579927

To me for the basic sort of tyres the Barchetta takes there isn't much difference as long as you avoid the really cheap plastic tyres but any thoughts or advice on replacements?

At the other extremes there are these higher profile ones for £35 : http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/blackcircles-com/value-choice/205/70/R15/T/96/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d205%26profile%3d70%26rim%3dR15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3dwintertyre&tyre=33842538

or some white walls for £230 : http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/americanclassic/car-tyre-%2860mm-white-wall%29/205/75/R15/S/97/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d205%26profile%3d75%26rim%3dR15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3dwintertyre&tyre=33085374

or really high profile to fill the arches at £273 each : http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/avon/textile/205/80/R15/V/97/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d205%26profile%3d80%26rim%3dR15%26speed%3dAny%26wintertyre%3dwintertyre&tyre=33078547

Good afternoon Nick won`t you need V rated tyres? Geoff .

Good spot. I had assumed the guy on chat recommending the tyres had seen the filters I had put on previously.

The three options I jokingly added obviously aren't suitable

but for £2 more : http://www.blackcircles.com/catalogue/kumho/kh31/205/65/R15/V/95/m?returnurl=%2forder%2ftyres%3f%26width%3d205%26profile%3d65%26rim%3dR15%26speed%3dV&tyre=20558310

I can see more 'classic' style tyres but they seem to be 2 - 3 times the price. As I use mine as a daily drive most the time I am not sure I am that fussed.

Really just checking if there are any killer deals out there or tyres that people rave about.

Mytyres have those for £53.40 delivered. Speak to your local tyre place and if ordered through them they might even fit for free.
