Hi all,

Im looking for a good shop to rebalance the tyres on my 840. I'd appreciate any recommendations as there are so many monkeys working in these places.

Thanks in advance,

Rohan

If you can make it to Hemel then Discount Tyres & Exhausts are excellent for all things tyres.

Hi Mackie,

Hemel is no problem. Are they shit hot at balancing then?

They are generally well regarded, I've used them a few times for fitting and 3D geometry checks and adjustments (they have a Hunter alignment machine).

Failing that i'd recommend Central Tyre in Hazlemere near High Wycombe. Take the A404 from Amersham and they're on the double mini roundabouts when you enter Hazlemere. Been taking my cars there for a couple of years and all very good

www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk just moved to hemel from watford. Tony Barns is the only person I trust to balance my wheels (and do my geometry for that matter).

Was that when he was in Watford? He moved quite recently.

... And anyone know a good balancing outfit near Bedford? Tried all of the chains, and am fed up of having to go back twice. "honest, its perfect. Must be your suspension worn Guv". Willing to travel aways. Any suggestions very welcome smile

Good timing. I'll shortly have four tyres to put on mine.

Hemel isn't that far away from Bedford for a good setup...

If you're going to hemel i'd really recommend giving www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk a call. Knows his stuff.

Edit: Oh wait, I already said that above

Right, went to Hemel Discount Tyre & Wheel, and can highly recommend them.

Was sat down during and after the tracking to explain what they had found and what they were going to do and if I was happy with it. First time for me with a tyre outfit so top marks.

Price came in under quote as well, so happy to give the thumbs up.
