I wasn't saying that I would rather use Royal Mail I was just asking if parcels2go charge by the weight like Royal Mail? I wouldn't use royal mail for parcel delivery after they stole my Dad's camera. I would obviously need the insured delivery with parcels2go but that doesn't matter because it still works out a hell of a lot cheaper than Royal Mail.
How can the tyres be the wrong size? They are on the alloys
All I need now is Ian to weigh his alloys. IAN!!!

No, they allow up to 20-25kg or something, which an alloy doesn't weigh.
Only problem is the volume, but if you did 4 lots of the same approx £40 all done.

wrong profile to fit the punto
If they the wrong size, will have a much different rolling radius and your speedo will need to be recalibrated

They are pretty low profile which will reduce the diameter, which means that the speedo will only be a couple of miles-an-hour out, which I can live with

Find out the tyre size and put it into this applet...
You'll see how much is a few MPH

I live in Middlesbrough, and by a strange coincidence will be travelling down the M1 to somewhere just south of Milton Keynes on Sunday 26th June. PM me if you want to sort something out.
What luck!

We are currently in negotiation
Luke I did that speed thing and apparently with these new tyres when my speedo says I am doing 60mph my actual speed will be 61.2mph. It's a travesty
