Just want a spare. Roads around here have been on national tv . Trying to be prepared for the worst !


Ah cool.. I've got the same wheels... so I was afraid they just buckle easily.

3 years old and front tyres need replacing very soon.. the fronts have bashed some pot-holes pretty hard so it'll be interesting to see what shape they're in when the fitters try to balance the new tyres..

I got the car at 13k. Miles and the dealer ( uncle Arnold). Had replaced the two front tyres ( Dunlop) so presumably - by looking at the rears which are about half worn -they had worn out. The wheels seem ok but the roads round here are awful. What’s your mileage? 850kd

Mine has done 25,000 miles now.. but it's mostly motorway work and I drive like an old fella... 👴

The rears on mine are about half worn .. the fronts are close enough to the wear limit that the MOT place gave me an advisory.

They're not run-flats.
I don't think fitting the 19" wheels gave any advantage at all, except maybe looks.
The ride was very crashy
They're quite expensive as well.
My Fiat has gone, we need more room so I've got a new Dacia Duster hybrid, had it three weeks, the big advantage is that I get 50 MPG as opposed to 32
The tyres and insurance are cheaper too.
Until Stellantis pull their finger out I think I'll be driving Renault Group cars
Yet again Fiat failed to develop and market the 500x properly, fundamentally a good car left to wither away
