Anyone know of a tyre fitter in Bristol who would be happy to fit part worn tyres?

I would normally use ProTyre but they don't fit part worns.

If they also do laser wheel alignment then all the better.

Thanks

Little bit outside Brizzle but I would wager Briant Tyres at Roman Camp (on the A46) would do it, and do have laser alignment.

I sent them and their reply was:
"WE DO NOT FIT PART WORN TYRES (WE CANNOT GARANTEE THE SAFETY IN THE TYRE)"
Yes, they used CAPS and spelt guarantee wrong wink

Try giving Mobi-Tyre a call 07855 222624

This guy is Bristol based and as the name suggests is also mobile. I enquired about part worns (which he didn't have) but at the time he said he's be happy to fit some if I found some on ebay.

as long as their your own tyres and you dont want warranty on them then try Mike Knights in Avonmouth.

The guys name is Phil who runs the place and he's a top bloke, always been great to me with prices and always happy to fit tyres i bought elsewhere if i could get them cheaper than he could.

Although they were new i dont think he'd care if i asked him to change used tyres on atall.

he charged me about £10/corner last time i did a swap rather then get him to get them.

I got it done at ProTyre in the end. After they gave the usual about not doing worn tyres I said 'but its my track car and I'm rotating tyres for the summer season' they suddenly changed their tune and agreed to do it.
