Had a blowout….

Had a bit of an issue today, puncture on the rear wheel which wrecked… and I mean destroyed the rear tyre. 
 

car is looking a bit wonky now on its 17” spare, but on checking the wheel, it turns out the rear wheels are 10j by looks of it. The tyres are 255x50x 19 all round. 
looking at the other one, it does look a little stretched. 
what is the correct size I should be looking for? 
 

thanks.

OOerr that is definitely a knackered tyre 🤢

When I had my 4.4 it ran 19" Staggered set from memory 255x50x19R front and 285x45x19R rear Front wheels 19"x9J ET48 Rear wheels 19"x10JxET45 

If you have been running the same size tyres all round on staggered rims I am amazed you haven't had transmission wind up or at least signs of it !!

PS Just had a thought there was a guy on another Forum a few years back who fitted 10J wheels front and rear he thought it stopped tyre shoulder wear ?? I always thought good alignment and tyre pressure did that   Silly Me. Check your front wheel sizes in case he had a fan

Had a look and the fronts are 9j.

I’m going to try and order 2x new rear tyres tomorrow. 
let’s see what else happens… 

the fuse blew on my tracker yesterday, cutting the live feed to the stereo… silly me!, how did I not know the fuse for the stereo would be in the boot…. 🙄😂
