Craig_ Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi folks, my beloved Alfa's got an MOT coming up, and I reckon at least two of the tyres might be dodgy, so was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for where to take it. Obviously, Farmer Autocare and Kwik-Fit are out of the question, but any ideas would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Depends where you work / are willing to travel to... I go to this place in Linlithgow as they stock Kuhmo tyres and they are the ones I want on my babys feet... http://www.linlithgowtyres.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmarkus1981 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I wont go back to these budget tyre places until they can balance a wheel properly. I ended up buying new alloys and tyres as they kept telling me they were buckled. D!cks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartsfc_fan Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 This is a decent website: www.tyre-shopper.co.uk Either that National aren't too bad. I'm usually wary of going to these big chains to get the car fixe or whatever, but been fine when I've used them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I used E-Tyres last year when I had a blow out. They come to you and change the tyres on street at a very reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalkeithjambo Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 What about Scottyre in Broxburn, had many a good deal with them, sure some garage will fit them for you. I use GP autos in Dalkeith to fit tyres. Have literally saved loads doing it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_vlad Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Budget Exhausts mate, used them loads and everytime i check online or elsewhere these guys have always being the cheapest. My last tyres for my bmw 3 seriers were 70 pounds cheaper here than etyres. Its on steveson road as well. http://www.tyreplus.co.uk/budget-exhausts-and-tyres.asp A wee tip, get a price online from them first before you go in to get the best prices.
