| Re: New Tyres Cheers mate. Price sounds good and I like the thought of them lasting longer. Any change in performance? |

| Re: New Tyres Try 'Event Tyres' in Old Trafford. I got 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's GSD3 fitted, balanced and tracking tested (which was fine) for £304. They also use a torque wrench just to tighten the wheels at the end. They also provide a mobile service and also use new balancing weights fitted to the inside of the alloy. I also got a goodyear drivers pack - ice scraper, deicer, screen wash, gloves and jump leads - cig to cig lighter connection. Last time they gave my son a mug from 'Continental' tyres that changes colour when you put a hot drink in it (he 5 years old and well 'buzzing' until he dropped it!). I'll get you their number if you want. |

| Re: New Tyres There's alway Blackcircles online - http://www.blackcircles.com/order?_c...cid=CW00097140 You can get yourself a full quote, pick a fitter near to you and turn up at the set apointment time. They were a lot cheaper than the national chains. Havea look and see what you think. |
