Sotosound Premier Member Last Online: Today 14:11 Join Date: Dec 2013 Location: Aylesbury	Replacing a tyre when driving in Europe My wife and I are planning to drive to Italy next year, and we'll cross France and a bit of Switzerland on the way. We're both looking forward to it, but a question popped up in my head today, which is about what to do if we have a puncture wherein the tyre isn't repairable while we're on the continent. My concern is that all UK tyre sizes are based around tread widths in mm but rim diameters in inches, e.g. 185/70 R14. Thinking on, however, do car manufacturers actually make different wheels sizes for imperial and metric markets? I have no answers, and neither does Google unless I'm simply asking the wrong questions. Has anyone on this forum got any useful information, experiences or advice to share on this topic? Many thanks in advance. __________________ 2014 Volvo V70 D4 (VEA) SE Lux Geartronic
