Alan yes it is your old living van. I bought it from you just over a year ago.

As yet I have done nothing with it, except sleep in it one night with my boys.

I thoughts I’d see if anyone had a wheel kicking about, but no luck so a friend had suggested doing exactly what you mention. So that is the plan. The front wheels have the shrunk on tyres, but not on the rear wheels so we are going to do them both.

All the best Wayne

We tried shrinking on a 3/16th tire but it stretched under the rolling effect on the road and came loose - make sure the tire is thick enough !
