Bought them separately, as the first wheel I got was an 18" but wouldn't clear even the rear calipers.

My car on the m40 last Friday
Split on the inner edge of the tyre, ended up on a flat bed
Tyre foam is crap, I waited and got dropped to a tyre company with some Michelin super sports

Snap !!!!! flat tyre - used the grey stuff with totally no effect.. really needs a spare wheel but never mind Audi drove me home....

Just get a good breakdown cover and chill, no worries tbh better than getting covered in crap, jacking the car up rd side, it worked out better for me doing that the other week

you can have wheel changed in 20mins quicker than recovery and cheaper lol

Did read somewhere years ago that on average you only get three punctures in the total time you will have driven ... this is now my 5th in 30 years.to be fair Audi/RAC did try to get a new tyre fitted but was a bit late.The chap from E tyres did moan his bits off when he found out it was full of grey liquid.

Fine if you're in a well populated area, but we tend to go on holiday to quite isolated places - one day last year in France we went almost 100 miles without seeing another car and without any mobile coverage, we need to be as self-sufficient as possible.
