tyre fitters in north

[Liam]

Following an old post by me where my local renault dealer ruined 2 182 rims after the manager promised they would not mark them, I found a good local tyre fitter thatI began to use.

It has now shut down. Can anyone suggest a place in the north, (pref West Yorks) who can fit tyres to large ish rims without marking them, and who can balance wheels well.

cheers.

Costco LOL. TBH I've never had a problem with them but i've never had a decent set of rims until now.
I reckon a smaller independent place would be better than a chain though as they are more likely to actually train their employees.
I've got a place by me in Garforth who is run by a mate. He may be able to do it if you're not too far away.

went to them above, supplied my own tr413 valves and exalto tyres fitted with no scratches.
and they used stick on weights.

Does anyone else jack their 182s up without using sills? they used two trolley jacks, behind each wheel pic to follow...

what sort of price mate?

 

[Liam]

me supplying tyres and valves they charged £10 a tyre.

 

[Adam]

yeah costcow are the cheapest.

got 2 pe2 for the 182 and all for £170 inc fitting and balancing.

i got my mate 4 toyos last week for £140 and a tenner for fitting new valves & balancing

 

[Liam]

i dont mind paying £20, they have used stick on weights and there are no marks on my wheels. Im happy.

 

[The Hoff]

Yes but matty, they won't charge you as much if you buy the tyres off them in the first place - in fact some places refuse to fit them if they didn't supply them.

And Toyo's good luck in the winter

 

[Liam]

here are the pics from it, anyone else use them points to lift the car?
