Hi All,


Does anyone know of a good tyre fitter?

I had some tyres fitted a few weeks ago but I could have done a better job balancing them myself with fridge magnets.

I normally used a trusted local garage to source and fit but they were unable to get the specific tyres I was after so had to get them online myself but they can no longer fit parts customers supply.

If it's only a balance you require, I've found STS Holburn in Dereham to be good - ie. we've never had a problem with them smile

The tyremasters place near the football ground are good. When I fitted bigger brakes to my Honda there wasn't any clearance on the wheel for the weights to go in the usual place. A few tyre fitting places said the weights would have to be stuck on the outside of the rim. Tyremasters balanced the wheels by sticking the weights on the inside edge. They were very helpful.

Thanks Guys,

I usually use STS in Dereham (rate them highly) and they did in fact sort the balance out for me.

Unfortunately as I mentioned they no longer fit customer parts and can’t supply Vredestein.

I’ll be sure to look up those other suggestions.

I'll agree with that. They're not the cheapest, but they are good.

The only place I know of in Norwich (and possibly Norfolk) that supplies Vredestein is Airways Tyres on Fifers Lane on the airport industrial estate. I've used them once with no complaints.
