Alloy wheels and new tyre sets

[Carrerasax]

Have I seen post on here somewhere about Fiat wheels and tyres being available from vehicles that are then coach built, or something similar.
My tyres have been on MOT advisories for last two years due to rubber cracking, sure garage said not to extent of needing replacement but fronts are wearing a bit now so what’s best course of action.
Are van tyres similar enough to be ok?

If someone opts for Alloys on a new motorhome the new tyres are removed from the steel rims and put on the Alloy rims. In the past I have bought these Fiat rims in order to have a spare wheel. You will not get new tyres that way (that is how I read your post anyway).

Saw a guy on fleabay selling steel rims but no tyres from vans getting alloys fitted. There is also a guy on fleabay selling alloys at a good price can also supply fitted with tyres think it was alloy wheels direct.

I stopped worrying about camper spec the first time I tried van spec tyres instead of the camper ones because they were far better, I use Michelin cross climate now and they are excellent

Any colour you wish as long as it's black and matt . I prefer anthracite but that's how they came so will do untill needing refurbishment. Would not get a set that are diamond cut as the lacquer does not take to bare alloy.

I sprayed my alloys with Vauxhall Technical Grey code 177 to match the bumpers which I had repaired and painted in that colour a few years before buying the wheels

I need some paint now for the gaffa tape

 

[Scotia]

Duct tape should get it through the MOT .

Amazing, you can hardly see the join.

I confess to getting B&Q to mixing up some grey emulsion for a back bumper repair I did ages ago, it was still on 6 months later, the front bumper had gone that awful pale grey, so I did that too, still looked fine when I sold it.
