I need a good tyre supplier to just fit, or maybe supply and fit some 305/30/19 Pirellis around the Bristol area.

Need my unmarked alloys to stay that way.

I've used Protyre before, but not for a while. Are they still ok ?

Thanks.

Bathwick tyres chippenham. Bit out of your way but a good bunch of lads who will look after you.

I used pro tyre yesterday and they were very good.

2 loose wheels, 1 with a tyre and 1 bare. I ordered the tyres but beore thy fitted the new tyres, they took me to one side to check I'd ordered the right tyres as they were a different size to the tyre that was on the rim. (I was right but they weren't to know that and could easily have just chucked the new tyres on and not care less).

Then the manager started talking to me about TVR's as he recognised the alloys.

I'd recommend them.

I've used Protyre for the last 10 years. Easy recommendation, still. Bathwick are good also.

I'm certainly not naming any particular place.

Every single alloy scratched around the wheel nuts, and incorrect pressures.

When he was filling them up, I asked the fitter for 40 front and 42 rear. I got 57 rear and over 50 in the fronts - outside the maximum range printed on the tyre.

The wheelnuts seemed ridiculously tight too, but he used a torque wrench so they must be right.

The place I used were very cheap, but so was everything else about the experience.
