Can anyone recommend a good place for tyres in the Manchester area and/or tyres

Ive got a Octy vRS 02 (chipped) with Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres. 225/45 R17 on at the moment. There okay, but always looking for something better.

Much appreciated

Go for the T1-R .. much better + longer lasting..

as for place try www.mswuk.com

I believe there is a fitting centre in Manchester..

I paid

Cheers mate.

Price sounds good and I like the thought of them lasting longer. Any change in performance?

Try 'Event Tyres' in Old Trafford. I got 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's GSD3 fitted, balanced and tracking tested (which was fine) for £304. They also use a torque wrench just to tighten the wheels at the end. They also provide a mobile service and also use new balancing weights fitted to the inside of the alloy. I also got a goodyear drivers pack - ice scraper, deicer, screen wash, gloves and jump leads - cig to cig lighter connection. Last time they gave my son a mug from 'Continental' tyres that changes colour when you put a hot drink in it (he 5 years old and well 'buzzing' until he dropped it!). I'll get you their number if you want.

There's alway Blackcircles online -

You can get yourself a full quote, pick a fitter near to you and turn up at the set apointment time. They were a lot cheaper than the national chains. Havea look and see what you think.
