Help!
Some of the local places are quoting silly money and i can get the tyres i want for sensible cash (delivered) - but i need to get them fitted.
Alternatively if i can find a decent tyre place which can supply and fit for a reasonable amount i'd be happy with that too.

Any suggestions/recommendations?
Thanks smile

I use ETB in Ciren.

Chap called Steve manages the place (mind you there was an advert in the local press looking for a manager so he may have moved on). Best prices in Ciren in my experience and they will quote an 'all in' price, fitted.

...oh and no silly nitrogen charge like another lot I could mention rolleyes

Indeed! Got a jetski filling one side, need another toy car to fill the other side. Got enough space on the drive for the 130 and the Focus and a visitor or two.

I miss my G33 (except when its raining). i have a Tuscan now but pressure on the family fleet as son learns to drive means that I will probably swap it out for a 997 which can fill the role of my daily driver and toy combined.

Chalford Hill is a nice spot, tricky in the snow though!

I know a good taxi company that runs winter tyres that can get in and out of Chalford in the snow! wink

I've got winters for the 130 and the Focus, and needed them a couple of months back!
Easiest way out was to stay high and head for Birdlip...

Pete. A number of Bristol PHers (myself included) use Protyre in Bristol. 5 mins from M32. Bit of a travel but a decent outfit.

A shout for Chris Mullins Tyres in Bristol Road, Gloucester. Most staff are ex-Pro Tyre, service is excellent and ultra competitive. They look after all our cars, good for service items as well.

Chris is an old friend of my OH, but unfortunately even with mates rates wasn't competitive on the tyres i wanted.
