Tyre fitter just wrecked my wheels!

[Guffy]

Just had two new front tyres fitted and come back to find this on both wheels:



I've just started a complaints process with the (very well known) tyre fitter, but does anyone know if this requires any specialist work? Any potential colour matching issues with rear wheels?

He blamed gravel in the tyre machine, thing is he managed to wreck both friggin wheels!!!

It was a mobile fitter, which I also used last year for the rear tyres, but he was older and clearly far more experienced than the young man I was saddled with. I have a great pic of his gormless face in the background, that alone should ensure a kuick response from the tyre fitting company.

Just get it refurbished, easy.

Hardly "wrecked".

Ok, a bit of dramatic licence, but it's a damned annoying when you try really hard to look after something.

What size tyres OP? (Not that's it's an excuse)

Cup 2's on a R8 V10+, they must be 19 or more like 20".

16" touring tyres are easy to change, they are not.

Not that it's an excuse though.

Yes, they're 19's.

I would say the much wider rears would be harder to work with and the same tyre fitting company had no problems last year, he did a great job.
