I've got my MOT soon, and have just bought some 16" alloys. My spare is 13" - is this a problem come MOT? the 13" steelie is road-legal tread wise, just a few inches too small for the rest now!

What happens if I get a flat? will tyre-weld help?

Thanks!

you are allowed different sizes as long as you plan to head to the garage or straight home on it- why no ring the breakdown truck anyway??
