Need to get 2 tyres fitted - recommendations?

[DanielJames]

Hi, can anyone recommend me somewhere to get 2 tyres fitted around the Pontefract-Garforth area please

Wheels are on the car but can be removed and taken to the garage with tyres

I'm a bit paranoid as my wheels dont have a mark on them..

I use motorsport wheels on the coal road in (Seacroft) Leeds. Not Garforth but not too far away.

I think they charge £20 to fit tyres they haven't supplied, but they are used to dealing with big rims / low profile tyres.

Go and see Mark at universal in Swillington near the old petrol station - he has done loads for me and never marked a wheel

All tyres fitted in Garforth as above - or alternatively the lads at thewheelspecialist (at the end of the same estate) do a good job and obviously as they refurb wheels they know to look after them. Although for just fitting tyres it will be a guvvy job and you'll have to grab one the lads and wave some notes in his face.

All Tyres fitted quoted me £15 a wheel! Used someone up in Wetherby in the end who used years ago.

Is that a euphemism Simon? Ha Ha

I've had the same issue recently, swapping tyres onto new alloys, some places were asking £85 per wheel because they hadn't supplied the tyres which was ridiculous. Average I was quoted was about 15 - 25 per wheel, some then turned it down when they saw it was low profiles.

Ended up getting them done at a little backstreet outfit for £25 all in, and they didn't even mark the alloys!

Hope you get it sorted with minimum fuss,

I doubt it.

[Defcon5]

Surely cant be £20 a tyre!

I use MSW but usually get my tyres from them at a good price too.

I get all my Tyres fitted by National Tyres in Barnsley who happen to be their main Uk Bike tyre specialist. they charge me £20 to swap my 4 Tyres over. (I run summer and winter Tyres on my golf) They are also more than happy to fit Tyres not supplied by themselves.
National Tyres in Hudderfield however are not and seems to be run by not so pleasant people.

I'll also second Motorsport wheels in Seacroft, very helpful, knowledgable folk and fellow car enthusiasts, which always helps. Can't remember how much they charge.

I'm prepared to travel a long way for good tyre fitters, after some grease monkey lunched a Lotus Exige Rim right in front of me!

Thanks for all the replies, I phoned all tyres fitted and didn't think much to the price they gave me (£30) but luckily an old mate helped me out and got the tyres changed for me

thanks
