Tyre fitting at home..

Xplode · 28 Feb 2006 at 19:42

Hello

Right i have a Saxo VTR and my 2 front tyres are running a little low i.e. almost level with the markers. I currently have Michelin Pilot SX 185 55 R14.

I have been calling around a few garages locally (nottingham) and most have said they are a rare/funny size so expensive.

What i ideally want is for a home fitting service. I don’t want to pay more than £150, but <£130 would be better.

So is there a company with a website who offer this service.

Thanks

Andy

i'm just getting a mental image of you outside with cycle tyre levers cursing you wheels

and yer the f1s are pretty decent tyres, although the sidewalls are apparently made out of soft cheese, like borsan, only softer (well if you talk to mike they are atleast

)

I wouldnt say they are made of cheese. From my experience I found them to be more like wet newspaper.

Used etyres before, very good prices and excellent service....but that is very much dependent on how good the guy is in your area, like most of these mobile services.
