hi need to new front tyres as the inside have worn right down although the rest is like new, tyres are stretched so have some camber to keep the tyres inside the arch so guess this is whats making them wear out so much inside, wheels are 8 inch wide i think.
just want to know where to get the tyres that were on it when i bought it which are nankang ns2 but haven't been able to find the size 165/50R15 72V and also anywhere good near portsmouth/Havant area that can fit stretched tyres,
cheers in advance for replies

mytyres as daveskater are the cheapest you will find
all vat and delivery is included in the price shown 
got mine off there last week, very happy with they
i fitted my own tyres, but mine were on 7j
any small garages should be able to fit stretch for some cash

you probably need tracking sorting.
and nankangs give a more J shaped stretch, and more desirable amongst majority of strecthers. easier to go on plus cheaper.
and as for fitting.. try backstreet garages, and to get that size on- the garage will need a cheeter or bead blaster (what ever there called) otherwise its DIY

ahh wicked, where is the car now? and whats changed/plans for it?
Back on question: if you still have the same coilovers on then you can adjust the camber on the front. but tis best to get the tracking double checked out too. what 8j wheels are they?
