I will likely need to replace tyres and am looking for someone who can be recommended in Worthing to do it without damaging alloys. I previously had the Audi dealership badly damage the alloys and whilst they accepted responsibility and repaired the damage I'd like to avoid a similar experience with my porsche. If necessary I can take to one of the specialist - I was just hoping to find someone local to Worthing for what should be a simple request. Grateful if someone can help.

It is tragic in this day and age that a tyre can't be fitted without the fear of damaging a rim. Any outfit calling themselves tyre fitters should be able to do this with their eyes shut.
Never had any issues myself but it just amazes me to hear of the number of idiots who still manage to fk it up.

Event Tyres are very good - when I've used them before I noticed that their machines don't touch the rim, unlike a lot of others. PLus they're mobile and have good prices.

Plus one.

Event tyres are great and were very careful. Even waited for me to clean my calipers smile

Agree with this and I have used them around the Wothing area too

Another plus 1 for Event Tyres. just had all four GT3 tyres replaced with Michelin SuperSports and they had the best prices and didn't touch the rim when fitting.

Try HOMETYRE they are also in Worthing, and I know they have plastic covers to protect alloys on their equipment. www.hometyre.co.uk
