Re: alloy wheel question

I'm with you sidb, must be growin old, but I don't like these ultra-low profile tyres either.. I mean, look at Formula 1, their tyres must be at least 65-profile :) Was running my Jag X-type 2.2diesel ( 8) :roll: )on the standard 225/40 x 18 wheels it came on, but within a year had cracked 2 wheels...

Re: alloy wheel question

In short: no 1) The 406 has 4-stud wheel hubs 2) The smallest wheels factory-fitted to any 406 were 15in, and look like roller skates wheels in those arches 3) The largest wheels factory-fitted to any 406 were 16in, and are as small a wheel as you would really want to go for Fig 2..... Or looks lik...

Re: Broken road spring.... Read this!!

I started a thread on another 406 forum a few years ago and asked for all to post their experiences......the majority of those who bothered to post almost all had their spring break whilst parked,only one or two said they had it happen whilst in motion and were at low speed. This is the only saving ...
