Anyone got a spare tyre size 215/45/17 i can buy from them?

Just had my car serviced and looked at the rear tyres, i know it was close but it is now showing the metal comming through i a little patch!

Will be replacing the lot next week, but need one ASAP to put on car, doesnt matter about the depth of tread left on but need to get me around for a few days.

Any help would be appreciated.

Tried all tyre places in essex, they will not fit any that are below 4mm tread left on!

Just need one for a few days, then when my cheque clears i will get a set of 4 for the car.

Would also have helped if i stated where i am, the car is in basildon, and will not make it to romford im my opinion.

Will be looking to get one from basildon area if anyone knows of someone who has any, or a spare for a few days?

Dont think it will make it that far mate, unless you want to drive to basildon?

Last tyre i had like this went BANG on M1 so i dont want to take the chance of driving the car like it is at moment.

Just need one tyre so i can keep moving, might have to call out a tyre place my sister knows and see what they charge (cough cough) for one!

Perry,

How have you let the tyres get that bad in the first place ?

I would help, but haven't got any spares that size.
