Anyone know any good wheel geometry and tyre centres in bristol

[Platinum Pete]

I need to get some tyres fitted to my MX-5 and also need to get the four-wheel geometry alignment sorted, as the tyres are wearing uneven and the car feels a bit over nervous.

I know that this is something that can be bodged in the wrong place so does anyone have any suggestions for centres with good value and service around Bristol and the southwest? I will also need some advice on what settings will best suit my needs (not just Mazda factory settings) so I want somewhere with good expertise in the geometry area

Cheers for any help

Protyre have a fantastic setup and will set your car to any settings you require, but I don't think they'll give you the kind of advice you are looking for.

If you don't mind going a little out of Bristol then Powerstation in Tewkesbury are just what you are looking for, they really do know their stuff when it comes to setting up a chassis.

I can second Protyre as far as service goes, they'll get everything done to the book better than anyone else in Bristol according to the Piston Heads lot, but I doubt they'll have any further expertise on the car.

Britania tyres in Filton are also a good bunch and know what they are doing.

edit, in fishponds not filton!

Thanks guys thats a big help, i have spoken to both pro-tyre and powerstation and i think i will use both (for different work of course)

Protyre again!


It's a real clean tidy workshop area - NO young trainees about too

Sounds like I should check out protyre next time

I got my tracking done at protyre - they give you this nice bit of paper with all the geometry settings on.
