Part worn tyres - Reading

[wiliferus]

I know this is a bit of a moot subject, and very unPH, but can anyone publicly fess up and recommend me somewhere in the Reading area for part worns.

I just need a stop gap tyre for a few weeks and would rather put a branded part worn on than a new LingLong Ditchfinder.

Would rather have a recommendation as it's obviously a minefield with plenty of dodgy tyres out there.

So you want to have a tyre fitted that someone else has ditched, good luck.

WHY ???? Have a tyre fitted that who ever is selling it has no idea of how its been used or treated.

Seen some many go this way but would never ever again.

Tyres are the cheapest thing you will ever fit on your car compared to fuel etc.

Buy one off ebay, I have bought many used full & axle "sets" and odd ones without issue, even sometimes unused, all my daily use cars have winter tyre and and wheel sets bought second hand. There are many reasons why tyres are sold part worn/second hand, after all we all buy second hand tyres on second hand cars don't we..... as long as they are "in date" no older than 5 years, and not scrubbed badly on the side wall or cut, you will be fine.

A bit like buying a used car then.

Used to be a place at the end of the Tilehurst Road, just before the A4 on the left. That's was a long time ago mind. We have a 'good' place in Newbury, which is off Hambridge Rd, near the racecourse.

Ive brought a few from eBay and never had issues.

Or, try Shadow who are down Commercial Road in Reading.

Ive brought part worn from them (they do good prices on new too)

There's a place at Arborfield on the A327 that has signs up for part worns. I've not used them myself, so not a recommendation as such (though I have died many times in the past as I bought part worns from Hurst tyres many years ago when I had a Mk3 Escort with XR3 wheels on it).

[Oh Behave]

There's a place in maidenhead if you're willing to travel. Not sure if they're any good but always seem quite busy. Pm me if u want more details

[wiliferus]

Thanks for the recommendations gents. I'm going to head to the Tilehurst Road suggestion tomorrow as I'm in Pangbourne so not too far.

I shall let you know if I die in a horrific fireball of death on the way home

[OldSkoolRS]

Oh no! Won't somebody please think of the children (or something like that).

Actually I'm looking for 2 part worn runflats in the Guildford area.

If anyone knows of an outlet around guildfird please let me know.
