Hey all,

 

As per title, I need a recommended tyre supplier and fitter near to Basingstoke please.

 

I need 285/30/19 tyres, and decent ish tyres, not cheap cr*p...

 

I've tried the usual places such as Micheldever etc, but nobody has any stock or can't get them... which I think is unusual. Some places have even said they will not fit tyres that I've purchased elsewhere (such as mytyres or whatever) which I can partially understand, but I need tyres soon ish as I don't want to keep driving on the current ones (large nail in 1, and both tyres quite badly perishing)

 

Contact details for your recommended garage (phone #) if you've got it would be good too.

thanks folks!

Drive up to Bracknell and us BRACKNELL TYRE AND BATTERY 01344 411323

 

I used them for 5yrs before I moved.

 

It will take you 35mins and can be found under post code RG12 1RL

 

Thanks mate. I think I saw your other thread about them.

I will ring them tomorrow, and hopefully they'll either have some in stock or be able to order some for me.

They always order them in, they have an overnight delivery every day...bar Sunday. So, I would not expect for them to have any 19" in stock. If you have makes/models in mind, spend a little time on the phone with them and get quotes for each one...

 

They are very busy but, always pick up the phone!

You should try Specialised Paintwork behind the Porsche garage just off Junc 12 M4. They get all the part worn porsche tyres for cheap prices.

 

You are therfore restricted to Porsche tyre sizes but i do know that they do a 295/35/19 as that is the 996 tyre. They also do a 265/35/19, off the boxter but im not sure about other sizes.

 

I got a pair of 295/35/19s for mine for £85 + VAT and they are like new.

Something tells me you didn't read my whole post ;)

I mentioned Micheldever, but they can't get me any! :(

damn, Micheldever tell me all tyres in 285/30/19 are on back order, and can't get hold of any.....

 

Waiting for Bracknell Tyres to call me back... anyone else know where I could get some? Admittedly I didn't think it would be this hard to get tyres locally...

Yep, use these guys, just got two F1's fitted for £303 (275/30/19's) on Saturday.

 

They might be a little weary though as it took them a long time to get mine sorted, had trouble getting the tyres off the wheels:innocent: was there for a long time....:(

 

They had to jack underneath the rear of the car due to it being lowered and neons underneath (couldn't fit on the ramps). If this isn't the case for you let them know and they'll probably be happier to oblidge;)

Why don't you get some mail order and get them fitted locally?

 

as per my first post, most of the garages have said they will only fit tyres that they supply.... which is annoying. Been on the phone to Micheldever again though and they have said that they will fit tyres I supply. So this looks like my only option.

Where did you get Falken 452's in 285/30/19???? Falken told me they don't exist in that size.....

I had my R888s fitted at Toyota in Basingstoke for £10.

Ah ok, I wonder if they'll do mine then. Might try speaking to them.

 

 

Had a thought though, I could go for 285/35/19's, which then gives me the option of the Falken 452's, which are also a bit cheaper. Micheldever do these.

 

Difference in sidewall is about 1/2 inch, meaning overall diameter is an inch extra. Really not sure if these would fit or not, plus it means that they are bigger than stock wheels/tyres.

 

What do people think?

I'm just more worried about if the 35 profile tyres will actually fit without rubbing.

 

I've got 35 profile tyres on the front that do rub on near full-lock (with the wheel arch liner) so don't want issues at the rear of the car as well.
