Most of the tyre fitters are well worn, so a part worn fitter may be hard to find!

Ohhh you meant the tyres ...

Richie. I agree with Apple. Motor Sport Wheels over in Seacroft (coal Rd) are the best I've been to.

First day out and Mr. Tyre met Mr. Woodscrew and brought along Mr. Stonechip for good measure

At least it wasn't an ex windscreen like the first day out in the bugeye...

Ever get the feeling "why me?"

Yep, I can confirm MSW don't open weekends

My woodscrew turned out to be a small self-tapper which hadn't punctured the tyre so done for free

One of the tyre monkeys asked if the car was a 22B - someone been playing too much GT? I know mine's WR blue but surely an 05 STi looks a tad different...? At least they liked the look of the semi-slicks on a road car
