Bought a set of ps4's from black circle,great except they do not seem to have anyone who can fit them.I don't think the opc will fit someone else's tyres and buying the tyres off them is a bit nauseating as they are £400 dearer for the same tyres.
Based in the cotswolds so if anyone knows anyone who can fit centrelock wheels please point me in the right direction.

Surely if Black Circles deliver the tyres to the OPC direct the OPC will fit them as long as they are wrapped as new.

Oponeo have delivered tyres to several OPCs and done this on a number of cars for me.

It's perhaps worth noting according to my local OPC, the tyres need to be "N" rated or Porsche aren't prepared to fit them. I ended up using "tyres on the drive" who were incredibly helpful and efficient. They are national too, so I'm sure they'll be able to come to you. I paid £90 from memory for 4 tyres fitted/balance etc.

There’s a local tyre place near me that does CL’s....am in South Bucks so about at least an hour from you though. Although people come out from London to use them as they’re very good.

Who is that? I live in Hazlemere and it would be handy to know for future reference.

Black Boots in Chesham. https://blackboots.co.uk/tyres-and-fitting/

Family owned business etc. I’ve used them a lot for lots of different cars...had the Cup 2’s replaced on my GT3 last autumn. They have two guys working on the car so everything is double checked when they’re putting the wheels back on etc. At the time the tyres I wanted weren’t available in the UK so they imported them from France for me !

They do all of DK Engineering’s work and seem to have got a good reputation with Lamborghini and McLaren owners.

Thanks Cheib - yes, of course. I have used them before.
