Tyre Change, any recommendations

Well, I’ve been using my local Protyre dealership for about the last 10 years for my Lambo’s. Not only do they give me great deals on my ‘L’ stamped tyres but also take the utmost care of the rims and car. They book the car in at a relatively quiet time and take as long as it takes to do the job properly. They also seem to enjoy having something out of the ordinary in the workshop. They store my winter tyres ready to swap over and charge a ridiculously low price to swap them over twice a year.
I must admit when I first went there I was clear about my expectations but to be honest it wasn’t really necessary, they were entirely professional about the whole process, and enjoyed working on the car. Plus a couple of photo ops for the younger fitters didn’t go amiss and the acoustics in the workshop are great!
So don’t be afraid of getting your rims ripped if you chose a local professional tyre dealer and build that relationship.
Latest example: I wanted a set of new winter tyres for my Gallardo. Lambo dealership quotation £2660 fitted. Protyre £1060 fitted, they are waiting at the dealership until the lockdown eases a bit. I don’t think I can justify an essential journey to change tyres in a bright green Lambo.

Have you spoken to Sam at McManchester?
They swapped my wheels over on my 12C when it was in for a service late 2019.
Went from std 12C wheels with P-Zeros to 720S wheels fitted with MP4SS's and they didn't bat an eyelid!
