Default New tyres fitted today :-)

Finally had 4 new tyres fitted at Atlas Tyres in Cardiff today. I went for the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's (225/40/ZR18) and got them for £420 all in.

Thanks to Pippyrips for the recommendation, both for the tyre choice and Atlas Tyres. I found them to be very friendly and professional and took great care with my alloys, also using torque hand tools rather than pneumatic guns to ensure they aren't over tightened.

I'd recommend them for price and service.

I for one cannot fault these guys, I went down there last Friday saying I needed new tyres, I wanted the F1's as well, they took one look at my tyres and said that I still had 3000 miles left in them and told me not to waste my money, so naturally in 2500 miles I'll be paying them another visit. You dont get alot of honest people in this world but these guys are fab, I will also highly recommend them to anyone.

Well I thought they were looking a bit low and they werent gripping, well the back ones, I'm glad I waiting now because everytime I change the tyres on a car I end up selling the damn thing, so I'll be driving around on slicks in about 5000miles and I'll be up your way Saturday gives us a wave if you see us.
