I've also heard good things about them.

Not used them myself, but plan to get some new rears on my Cayman S through them in the near future. I remember reading that they are the only people in the area that Evo magazine's Harry Metcalfe trusts with his cars. Knowing the cars he has in his garage, that's a good enough endorsement for me!

Always used northampton tyres myself, had an issue once but they were good at sorting it out for me after a word with a manager, hasnt stopped me using them since either

Wollaston have a tyre bay, book in through their service department. A chap called Paul runs it, and is responsible for fitting all of their tyres. He takes good care & I've never had any problems there.

Tyres Northampton are alright aside from the fact they fitted the wrong centre-section to the exhaust of my 182

Seem to be fine with tyres/geometry though

Used Tyres Northampton this weekend to get new rear tyres on my Cayman, and also got them to do a full geometry on their laser rig. Excellent service, good price, was really impressed. Will definitely use them again.

I've used Tyres Northampton a few times for my Corvette and the 355 and can recommend them. They're fairly competitive price-wise and have a very nice VIP waiting area and free posh coffee / PS3 to play on while you wait smile

I've been to Tyres Northampton 3 times now and each time satisfied. Good service. The alignment service is really good but can be a little pricey. Worth it if you've got a decent motor, but as I haven't that's why I think it's pricey!
