Hi All

I need some one to fit a set of slicks onto my GT3 wheels, who in the NE is good? I live in Alnwick but don't mind travelling to Newcastle. The tyres are 305 / 30 19. I've had trouble finding somewhere with a wide enough balancing machine.

Thanks

I'd happily recommend Peter @ Tyres2U. He's mobile, so will come out to you.

Ring Grande Tyres Fastfix on Whickham Bank and ask for Greg.

He's a PCGB member and your wheels couldn't be in better hands!

Tell him David sent you and he'll put the kettle on too wink

Is that Jeremy of Etyres? I used to have him fit all my cars when I lived in Newcastle, always a good service and a great guy. Aside from one embarrassing situation with some Subaru wheels and a missing locking wheel nut key, which we don't speak of! hehe

Glad Greg sorted you out, he's a top bloke with great customer service (he also insists on using a torque wrench to do wheel nuts up properly).

I might be imagining it but am sure that Greg told me you're at Oulton Park on Friday? If so, see you there wink

Have fun!

You'd wouldn't need slicks at Oulton on Friday, more like wets!

Did Greg try and entice you along to a PCGB meeting?
