   Just checked the tyres and used the net to understand all the letters etc.
   
   195/45R15/78W
   195/452R15/82W Extra Load
   195/45R15/78V
   195/45R15/70V
   
   Should I be worried these tyres are different?

   The tyre that is burst will be replaced with the spare, 185/55r14/79h current one 195/45R15/70V
   
   Do I need to buy law carry a spare?
   
   The spare is not a alloy, so will be the odd one. How do I go about getting the burst tyre sorted, tyre garage I assume?

   Don't legally need a spare
   
   And yeah, go get a new tyre from a tyre place

   Tried to get the flat tyre off, but aint for moving. Nuts are not for moving, even with my body weight pushing down.

   Try bounce on the wheel tool mate, if not wait until tomorrow am try get to a garage, doubt they will charge much if anything to whip a wheel of for you!

   This. Bit of extension for some leverage and it's easy!

    Managed to get the tyre off, took some going though! However the spare will not go on it, even had my Dad try it.
    
    So will limp it along the road and get a new tyre fitted on to the alloy. Fingers crossed he will have the right tyre.

    the problem with wheel nuts and airguns, is the inexperienced chimp using it.
