Thanks for the thanks Rob.
I should have added that if you have the Fix-n-go seriously consider getting a spare wheel, jack etc. The 16" steel of an Active does the trick. Hellcat wrote a guide which is in the guides section ( where else )
I had a puncture a couple of months back which wrecked the tyre. Fortunately I've got the spare wheel upgrade

, and i just bought a spare matching 17" alloy so i won't have to drive back from Italy if i hit a pothole and ruin the wheel/tyrei have a space saver spare wheel
Last winter I had Goodyear Eagle F1s on the front and Vredestein Sessanta on the rear.
Never again.
Got stuck trying to climb to a national park car-park up a 1/4 hill.
This year I'll be buying a set of winter tyres on steel wheels from mytyres.co.uk. I've not decided on what size/brand yet, but it's looking around £80-90 a corner. Thinking 195/65R15 might be too thin for the weeks without snow down from 225/45R17, or maybe not.
The 16" steel just lifts the boot mat slightly with a 205/55R16 fitted. I think your 17" spare will go in the well, but being 225/??R17 it will lift the mat an inch more. Unless you remove the anchor point in the middle of the well, the spare will have to go face up. The hole in the middle is too small to go the other way. I bruised the laquer on one of my alloys finding that out
