Event Mobile Tyres - Recommended!
Discussion
What a great company - well recommended. They bring everything to you in a van with an air jack, tyre removal/fitting and balancing machine. The fitter was really customer focussed, was super careful with El Beast and a top bloke to boot (told me all about his 650bhp Scooby - a real car-nut like us!)
Full set of T1-R's for £299 fitted and balanced with new valves at your door, and they take away the old tyres.

is £112 each tyre for the DCK RE040s for the back of mine a fair price?

if so, I've been looking for someone as I need new rear tyres....you may have just saved me, Tim!

Hi Tony!
I really don't know mate! Wish I could comment... well I could, but it would be all made up so that's no use now is it?
I guess just lots of good comments about eventmobiletyres is a good recommendation... the price issue is down to what your happy with
None of this helps much, but HTH!

Thanks Janitor that was, urmmm...useful 
Actually - I will get my bum over to detailing world (I've been quiet for a couple of weeks) - enjoyed that forum but just didn't post enough on it. Will change that, though!
Enjy - I don't mind paying a little more - it's my wheels which is the crucial thing. My wheels are PERFECT, I have kept them that way, inside and out (they're my pride, so to speak)...and always some cock boy with a tyre lever puts a mark on them. That is always my worry. I had a guy locally that was amazing and a fellow car enthusiast, but unfortunately his business slowly closed so he is now no longer - and I'm left without someone to trust!!
Ok then, thanks people. Could someone just confirm for me, before I do it, that those tyres I mention above are the correct official lotus ones?! ta

Hi Tony
Would love to confirm that they are the right ones... but I have no idea what I'm talking about so if I did comment I'd only be making it up which is no use to anyone now is it 
Although I'm sure I've heard good comment about 'event' care for your wheels

scotte said:Or, it would appear, anywhere in the North. Just put in the postcodes for the last 4 places i've lived - Sheffield, York, Leeming (nr Northallerton) and Shrewsbury - and non are in range. Anyone know of a similar service available for those not living in the Home Counties or c. London?
they dont cover scotland unfortunetly.

Tony, call up B&C and get the full detail from them and cross-check. Will take you 5mins. As for care etc. I can't fault the guy who did mine (Kieran).
All sorted The DCK's are the correct ones, and at £224 fully fitted I think are excellent value from Event Tyres - who are coming to my place of work on Thursday.
To give you an idea, Micheldever (who I have always found very competitive) were £201 for the tyres delivered to my door.
Just keep your fingers well and truly crossed that they don't put a dink in my perfect alloys (fingers crossed fingers crossed fingers crossed crossing of fingers!)

Yup, calmed down a bit now so I can explain the story a bit more;
he accepted it was him (or, in his words, "we were the last to touch the alloys and there's now a scratch on one" ) ...phoned his boss there and then. His company are now ringing round trying to find out about the paint type on my wheels etc (what use that is I'm not sure) but they will ring me back in a few hours to arrange paying for my wheel to be refurbed. The only problem then is that the wheel will not look right with all the other ones!!!!
I have never, to this day, EVER, had tyres fitted and it all gone well; except for one small company that have now gone bust who were the absolute most top blokes you could imagine.
It's not too much to ask, is it....?!

Bugger
Such a shame Tony... and probably even more annoying that they did the others without a problem
If its any consolation, which I know it won't be, my lightweight wheels all have marks now from general use - stone hits & abrasive grit etc... it's gutting but unavoidable as I actually use the car! In your case different as it was through slack work
Hope it gets sorted - at least you were straight on to them and didn't find out a few days/weeks down the line

I won't deny there are a few stone chips on mine also (which you can only see when you get down to the wheels to clean them etc) - I think it comes from the rears being wider than the front, as well as the pronounced spoke design.
I'm currently in limbo with my car as a whole, Janitor (as you may have seen on Detailing World); I'm a bit bummed about it's state as I lavish lots of love and attention on it but, because I keep driving the bloomin' thing, it is obviously 'worn'.
Anyhow - thanks for the comments. Hopefully it all gets sorted!

Tony, so sorry that you've had a wheel scratched but I think you have to try and be a bit pragmatic about it.
I'm sure the guy didn't 'mean' to damage it, how bad is the scratch and where is it? Could it be refurbed at a reasonable cost? There's one in Tonbridge which honestjohn.co.uk recommends "Spit & Polish of Tonbridge, Kent 01732 367771" and which I believe were mentioned in EVO a eyar or so ago. Perhaps worth giving them a quick call to ease your mind about getting it sorted?
As GJOB as we all are, ultimately you can't expect the car to be perfect for ever, I get as hacked off as the next guy about stone chips and nicks, and wheels etc. but I recognise that sometimes you have to just let it go.
At least they are being reasonable enough to try and get it sorted for you rather than fobbing you off with BS.
I feel shit having recommended them to you now, but I still think the service they offer is excellent value, and certainly no less risk than any other place.
