i see, but would it not then accelerate faster, and if u put bigger wheels on less acceleration but better for cruising.

You got it!

i did eventually, always run smaller cars before, never needed to worry about wheel size before, thought 15in was big,

Easy way to change a wheel is to use a shovel or spade under the tyre. We had a tyre fitter who was in his sixties who could change a trailer wide single using a shovel faster than we could using a bottle jack handle, and we were in our twenties.

Also helps if you use bead lube on the spade /shovel on the big uns.

Is this a uniquely Cornwall trick?

I seem to remember a Christopher Miners driver do exactly that on the quayside in Roscoff just before the midnight ferry sailed - we all thought the guy would miss the ferry and went to help - but he showed us a trick or two that night.

No just one of the tricks of the trade, saves you getting a big pair of you know what. S do you still have the tyres for sale as I need a couple of Synchones ?
