As the title says … managed to get a nasty puncture on my way to the garage at lunchtime today (oh, the irony &#8230wink so I need new rubber fitted to my Porsche 944 Turbo tomorrow morning.

Haven’t had to do this before, so am not sure where to trust around here.

Any suggestions? I reckon the hardest part is going to be finding anybody with the right size in stock, let alone a decent brand!

Thanks …

Try performance tyres in Anniesland - when I had a flat in the MINI (rare tyre size) BMW put me onto them as they actually get tyres from them too IIRC, my dad's used them for years and he shops about for price so I'd imagine cost will be as reasonable as you can expect.

Performance tyres in Anniesland are excellent.They were the only place I could find that had the correct Pirelli Pzero tyres in stock for my Boxster3.2s

Thanks - I’ve spoken to Performance Tyres and they’re going to send a van out to fit me some tyres at home on Monday. Saves me having to put the spare on and drive over.

Going by the weather today, I didn’t really want to go to Crail tomorrow anyway.

Drivers were able to help too, but wanted to charge more than Performance tyres.

Yeah, Performance Tyres are very good. Used them a few times and their prices are very competitive.

Surprised Drivers didnt quote you "bend over and touch your toes" hehe Theyre good lads and fair enough they have to cover city centre rates, but damn they can be expensive!
