Question for tyre fitters
Discussion
Hi
I just had 2 new tyres fitted at home by a mobile tyre fitters. I took the wheels off for them in advance. I expected the valves to have been changed, but the dirty old valves are still in situ. Should they be changed with every new tyre? I've checked the receipt but it doesn't show a breakdown. He's done a seemingly good job, no scratches on the rims and he pulled off the old wheel weights before adding new ones when balancing.
