Cret Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Steer clear of those chav's I got a set of tyres and they wore out within 1200 miles very poor Which chavs? Surely the lifespan of the tyre is mainly down to the brand/compound/driving style/car geometry rather than the person who put the tyre on?

Katman Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 National Tyre - best service and good prices. Recommended. Second that. The place looks a bit run down, but the staff are always polite and helpful and their prices are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop driving like a lunatic and they'll last a lot longer I haven't been driving like a lunatic! For what it's worth I've always found National Tyres to be a most helpful bunch, and generally cheaper than the alternatives (not always - so it's always worth ringing around for quotes). I've always found ATS on south quay very helpful too when I've gone there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
