Not labour - the torys thought this one up .
Any tyre over the size 155x13 should be subject to a instant £25 per tyre
tax levy - as obviously large/big tyres need more metal and rubber to make
them - and cost more to dispose of .
In a way this does make good sense as if you have something that is more
damageing to the enviroment than other similar smaller products - then it
is only fair you should pay more .
It's another pile of steaming goat**** from Krusty.
155x13? Is there anything made that still uses something that small? Even
1.2 SXi Corsas have 185/55/15's, and the shabbiest Kias are probably on 14s
by now.

Seems like another good reason to stop driving my 55mpg 1300cc 215/40/17
"Gas guzzler" for my 25mpg 145/50/13 1272cc G40.
