Where to get tyres fitted to the GT3 (Debry,Notts area)
Discussion
When I wanted rears for the Spyder I used Tanvic in Loughborough.
Used them many times on all my vehicles with no issues.
However, if I had ceramics I'd be using an OPC.
The price difference between them and Tanvic was about £40 per tyre for mine, but considering how much damage could be done to your ceramics I reckon it's a small price.

Events website says they dont cover where I am.
Cant use OPC as they won't supply supersports. Or wouldnt last time I spoke to Nottingham.
Will give the place near stratstone a call thanks.
Could try Leicester OPC - I know they fitted some Dunlop Maxxis (?) non 'N' rated for a fellow Spyder owner (who also has a Cayman R - they were fitted to that)Cant use OPC as they won't supply supersports. Or wouldnt last time I spoke to Nottingham.

Inner Ring Tyres in Derby next to the Odeon and Stratstone BMW, been using them for years, very careful and prices remarkably competitive.
+1I've used them for all my cars for years.
ETS on Alfreton Road are good too.
Not sure what the concern is with ceramic brakes mind with regard changing tyres?
Also, don't you have to have N rated tyres on a Porsche which are only available from the OPM?

RE: N rated. Some people seem to be under the impression the world will implode if you dare to put non N rated rubber on. Ive had more than one tyre place tell me they cant fit non N rated to Porsche.
Its only really a concern if you renewing a warranty (even then some OPC's arent bothered) I dont bother with a warranty anyway, I once listened to a non porsche approved CD and was told they would have to void my warranty

The discs are very easily chipped so if a clumsy fitter were to catch a disc with the wheel then thats 5-6k for a new one. Worth the risk?

Well I trusted Inner Ring with my Gallardo with ceramics, in truth I think they are quite robust and are not that easily damaged.RE: N rated.

I never bothered with getting the OEM specific tyres until I spent a day with a Bentley ride and handling engineer who had just returned from Germany after 4 weeks of tyre testing. Talking to him about the differences to the tyre construction that the OEM specifics have was enough to convince me to pay the few extra quid.
