[In Focus]

I'm looking for a spare for the wife's car. Hopefully, someone in WA will get a CL (= base model), pick up some alloys and let the steel wheels go cheap.

Two things I would point out to you.

1. The Continental tyres on the Fiesta (WT) are quite soft, which is a price you probably pay for their excellent grip. This means you are vulnerable to nails etc. My wife managed to pierce tyres twice in the first couple of months she had the car, but fortunately has avoided that fate again in the next ten months.

2. The wheels on the WT are a different size to the WS (previous model Fiesta, though looks very similar). This means you need to be careful if you pick up a wheel from another Fiesta - it will only fit if it comes from a WT.

All in all, I'd be looking to get a spare ASAP, particularly if you do a lot of out of town/city driving.
