Default Tyre fitters in Lanarkshire/West Lothian

Bought some 18" P1-WRC wheels and Goodyear tyres seperately and looking at getting them fitted this week. Anyone recommend some decent places that will take care of my wheels?

Swift's in Whitburn would be handy as they're on the way to/from work. Other recommended place is Dickinson's in Cumbernauld, but they're a bit out of my way.

A1 tyres East Kilbride 01355 228008 they are our sponsors of the rally car and will do you a good deal.

Just another name thrown into the ring.

Thanks Davie.

Trouble is getting to anyone outwith M8 or Wishaw/Livingston during the week. I'll keep them in mind if I wait 'til the weekend.

Stephen,

Do you have a van for your work? I could only manage 3 wheels and 4 tyres in my car (and that was a squeeze). Other option is to use my brothers van at the weekend.

Damo,

You sound like my saviour. As long as you don't drop the alloys, I'd be happy

I'll give you a shout tomorrow.

Yeah, Damo's just 10 mins from my work so I'll get in touch with him and arrange some beer money.

Thanks for the kind offer; it's appreciated.

I'll recommend Damo too...he swapped my new tyres to the rear as I had had them fitted on the front and after a 540 degree spin while "testing" them I decided maybe the Eagles should be on the back!

Just went to have a chat and Damo offered to do the swap for me in his break - thanks a lot m8 - beer tokens will be freely given anytime Especially if I end up a scoob owner The car feels a wee bit different now Have to w8 till it rains b4 doing any more testing!

Yeah mate shes still here, going away very soon to get a little bit of treatment

Not working in broxburn anymore moved onto bigger & better things (an easier job), use the warrior for work & the scoobs out most nights & weekends for a blast

I take it you got ures fixed ??

Another bump for A1 tyres here.

i go to see them every 6 months for 2 new Bridgestones (~7k mls)

Good as gold, no messing about and cheap as chips.

Had them do my front pads too...smashin'

Damien,

Sorry for not being in touch, but I've been busy @ work for a change. I'll try and get over tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning if that's OK. What's best for you - I just leave the wheels and tyres with you or best to arrange a time and hang around while they're fitted?

Work just outside the Deer Park golf club in Livi, so it's no hassle to get over as long as I cn fit everything in the car. If I come over on Sat, I'll bring my bros van.
