Anyone recommend someone to do 4x 18 inch tyre swaps.

Anywhere from Newcastle to Middlesbrough.

I've bought some used alloys and want the tyres on my car swapping onto the replacement alloys.

Obviously want new valves and balancing and I'm going to take the old alloys with me.

Woulkd like it done competently but not have to pay too much if possible.

Planning to sell the old alloys to get some dosh back.

Fecking expensive alloy are.

Ta.

I always use C&S Tyres in Mibblesbrough. They take good care of my Lotus wheels and used them loads of times for both new rubber and swapping trackday/road tyres.

Will also be using them to fit the winter tyres on the Audi (daily drive).

Do they have an electronic wheel balancer now? The last time I was there I'm sure they had a manual setup.

No idea Shutchinson, but in what probably 100 tyres fitted and balanced by them, never had a complaint =)

Good point...Tyre Spot in Darlo used to be spot on(pardon the pun)...charging a fiver a wheel...

Theyt have been bought out by another company who have invested heavily in new equipment etc etc...

Lat time i went the place was empty..and they too wanted 20 quid to change one tyre...

See ya later!!! nooooo chance.
