Three hours of my life gone to waste watching 7 guys trying to get a tyre to pop into place on a rim.... I think I went through 25 odd cigarettes watching this...

First the skinny lad... then his skinny mate... then the old pensioner... then the big jamaican lad... then one of the other customers... then the shop manager.... then the MOT man.

I really wish I took my phone out and filmed this, it was blurdy hilarious!!!!

Ok, they never got it on.... had to take it somewhere else where it literally POPPED on in 10 minutes!!! WTF!!!! banghead

Valve core out, air gun on.

Takes but mere seconds. Where did you go to?

I know someone in Yeovil with a murcielargo (spell check!) and when he needed a new rear tyre due to a puncture it had to be collected by Lamborghini in London on a low loader because no tyre fitters had equipment to change that size of wheel/ tyre .. your rears must be a similar size

Last year i had the alloys refurbed on my Z4. A month later it failed its MOT on worn tyres, so the local car and tyre place attempted to fit x2 new front tyres. Needless to say they scuffed my wheels to hell, and so i will never take my car back there again.
