Tyre fit only in/around Newbury

[tobinen]

Hello

My usual tyre place can't supply the size I want in all-season. I can buy them on line but they won't fit tyres not bought from them.

If anyone can, please recommend a place which will fit tyres supplied elsewhere.

Thanks

Tyre Barn? They were always alright for me?

Might be too far, but Headley Tyres?

Thanks

Tyre Barn was my first port of call but no joy. 20 year old Merc tyre sizes are not ten-a-penny as I am finding out.

Does it need to be Newbury? Can it be Reading? If you can do Reading or want someone to go to you these guys may do it

I supplied the tyre. No problem with them.

In the end I ordered from Headley Tyres. A bit dearer than on-line + fitting but not a hell of lot in it, plus they'll remove my nearly-shot summer tyres from the 18s

Always had excellent service from Headley , unlike Tyre Barn

Totally the opposite for me.

Fitted the wrong tyres to wife's S2000 and then put the fronts on the back and so on.

Then my daughter goes for new tyres on her Volvo and they start telling her the present tyres are wrong, they fitted them the year before, but wouldn't hear of it!

Never good to hear of bad service so perhaps it was an off-day

I am pleased to report that the service I received was very good. There were quite a few customers before me, but all told I was done in about half an hour. I had two bolts in the NSR wheel which would not torque up, and the fitter invited me to look. He suspects the hub threads are shot and took the time to give me a demonstration. After the wheel swap he removed the summer tyres and put my wheels in the boot.

I was on my way (only 5 miles to home) with three of five bolts correctly tightened and the other two nipped as far as they would go before they gave way. I am booked in to the garage for them to check on Tuesday.

They'll be my first port of call when I need the winters replaced on the Touring.

If Thatcham is an option, try Station Tyres and ask for Enzo. Good bloke, always done good work for me, good on prices for the most part.
