I'm sure Elite used to be open on Sundays weren't they?!?!?!

 

dont think they where lee
theres jet wheels and tyres in basildon,but again not sure if there open on sundays.
i take it your gonna need a big tyre size so the little shops wont have them in stock?

 

Got the tyres, just need em fitted mate Gutted, I was sure they used to be open! DOH DOH DOH

 

load of places open then lee. there all fit them for you,but at a dearer price than if they where selling the tyre themselves
even the little shop round the corner to me is open today i think

 

my local Kwik fit or ATS won't fit tyres that they haven't sold.... no others open local. Hence my post matey

 

Wot, they won't fit them even for Cash

Steve.

 

Insurance reasons...

 

How times change

Steve.

 

That's a load of old bollocks More like they want to penalise you for not getting the tyres from them at probably twice the price you paid. My local ATS told me that I should get my tyres from them as although they were Ł40 a corner more they were a higher grade whereas the cheaper place I was getting them from would be seconds and wereen't BS approved. Unfortunately for them my father spent 30+ years in tyre and rubber research and took let the guy dig a big hole and then took him to pieces.

 

what about jet tyres in pitsea PITSEA 01268 551253



i think they are open for half a day, been a while since been down there thou

 

Gus, you my friend are da man. Ł70+ vat to fit em only though!!!

hahahah you gotta love Skyline tax

 

 

It's when you say that's each I'll knock the Skyline off my wish list

 

thats fooking shocking

 

70quid? you can buy 4 tyres for that for a shitbox car

 

What you running then Jim, remoulds?

 

Didn`t think that was bad actually....


Ever heard the term "Reassuringly Expensive".

 

the place near me charges 5 quid a tyre plus balancing

dont think its skyline tax though,,,,, just generally ripping you off tbh

if you posted on saturday i would hve said pop it down my place and i would ahve got one of the techs to do it for a drink

but there not there on sundays

 

thats just a line people use to justify there rip off prices,,,,,,, any fooker can charge 400 quid to change a tyre,,,,, dont mean there any good though

 

are R-tec open sudays as there pretty good at fitting tyres and also a good price on em too

 

Ginge.......Ł17.50 per wheel is not bad mate,specially not for wheels like that,which is what they would have taken into consideration when they quoted Lee.........

Don`t forget,they also have to pay for old tyre disposal etc,and running cost and insurance etc,etc.........Do you expect them to work for fook all..

And i don`t think one of your techs would be offering to replace a Ł300 rim if he fooked it on the machine.....Do you....

Get what you pay for mate......Wouldn`t even take my Escos to a back street to save money,Never mind a Ł40K Skyline...

 

my point was just cause they charge more DONT mean there any better !!!!


most tyre places let the aprentice's do the tyre jobs,,,,,,, go anywhere, not many tyre shops pay good money so they dont get proper staff,,,,, just ones on a day course when they learn health and saftey aswell as tyre fitting then come back to work after lunch,,,,,, thats the pro ones too


as much as " you get what you pay for" seems a correct comment,,,,,,, its not actually the truth,,,,,,,,, you can pay LOADS of cash for anything and still get ripped off


the techs at my place are proper techs, not a wanna be mechanic and they WONT catch the bead when doing low pro tyres as they aint stupid

they also ALWAYS use side wall sealent too when putting em back on unlike MOST tyre places ive seen and they even do PROPER puncture repairs and not just stick a patch on the inside of the tyre


main dealers dont bodge things, they DO charge ripp off prices based on the fact they have more over heads,,,,,,,, i wouldnt let em time my cams but id deffo let em change a tyre

17.50 plus vat per tyre IS alot of cash,,,,,, its 100% more than the average

 

ere, this is the place i told you to go in my first post sloppy

 

Thanks Pops, I did miss that. It was actually only the Benfleet one that was open in the end

They charged alot of money as they are quite big tyres I supposed. Fair enough. 275-30's allround aren't the easiest things to fit I suppose! Thanks again for you help guys.

 

fucking hell!! i wouldnt want to try and fit them lol!

 

275...thats abit wide...i run that width on my F-Car and they almost meet in the middle ROFL!....but i understand you got a fatter ass than me

 

It actually could do with a bit wider ones! The wheels are 10.5 wide all round and the 275's are stretched on!

I am told it is cool to have them like that though

Its TRAMLINE central on the motorway though!

Was out in it yesterday, doing some mental mental traffic light launches

 

Thats a good few years back Lee.
