Scrap yards are full of wheels with tyres on and I need one for my renault 19. Which wheels will fit my car that have the same tyre markings? Its just a standard 1990 r13 size model

On a cautionary note, I posted some weeks ago with my prob when i filled up to max with petrol and it leaked.

Standing in the leaked petrol has caused the rear tyre to sow the seeds of a warp on one patch after only two days sitting in it (It hasn't leaked since) something i never considered.....

It must have been eating away at the rubber as i've only just started to notice it even though i've had no fuel loss in weeks.

Lack of cash=scrap yard Crying or Very sad

if you look on the sidewalls of your tyres you will see markings.

Will prob be 165/70 13, go to the scrappy and get a matching tyre, 19's and clios will match it as will other cars but then you would need to swap the tyre over.

My 1.4 Energy is supposed to have 165/70R13 (according the registration) but has alloys with 185/70R13
My 1.8 RT has steelies with 175/70R14 Shocked
The RT's registration says 175/70R13, which reveals that it had those when he came over the Atlantic 10 years back Smile

Next week im going to take the 13" alloys off the 1.4e and put decent summer tires on them and then stick them on the RT Cool
Note regarding summer tires in april....it stopped snowing on wednesday Shocked
