Wire whels - new tyres

[colin m]

Does anyone know of a firm that can work with wire wheels. I need four new tyres, inner tubes and balancing.
I live near Stafford, so somewhere local would be great, but realise I'll probably have to travel.

Cheers

Have you asked your local garages if they're familiar with wires? I needed four new tyres on wires recently, I bought the tubes from Longstone, the tyres from one of the normal tyre sites. Thought I'd need a classic car specialist but asked the modern garage near my house anyway, and they didn't bat an eye. I was concerned about the balancing, but I've had the tyres on for 11 months and they've been perfect.

Thanks for that. The MG owners club couldn't offer any useful advice, So yes I tried a few local places and one of the smaller, more local outfits is happy to do them. He's actually done and E type recently.
