Recommendations for good wheel and tyre supplier/fitter in Berkshire
 
Hi All,

I have a stock MY03 WRX and have come to the point where the tyres need replacing.
I've currently got the standard alloys and tyres (225/45/17) and am seriously considering replacing the wheels (to 18" alloys) at the same time.
I'd rather not do it all online as I'd prefer to just drive up to the place, get the whole thing done and drive out again.
So, I have two questions that I would be grateful for your help on:

1. Where's a good place in the Berkshire area that can do this (closer to Reading the better)? Please also let me know if there are any places I should not go anywhere near!

2. I'm thinking of putting on the Eagle F1s. If I put the 18" alloys on, can I put on lower profiles like 225/35/18? If not, what's the safest size (225/40/18)?

Many thanks,
Muppet #1

Headley Tyres nr Newbury or Bracknell Tyre and Battery are seldom beaten on price. (Bracknell can involve bit of wait).

Bracknell Tyre and battery. They are always first class

Remember seeing this a week or two back, spent some of today phoning round. On 215/45 ZR 17 Eagle F1 GSD3s with the 91Y load rating; Bracknell tyre and battery £78 each, Headley Tyres £86 each, the rest £93-140. Might try and get a better deal with Headley as it's much closer to me . . . .
