people raved about motorsport on coal road, I may need some new rubber and also slicks fitting soon, so let me know if you find someone good! Otherwise I'll get Tyres Northampton to do it at donno.

Tyres Northampton are very good.
If not Silverline in Warwick are excellent.
They do a load of Michelin motorsport work, slicks etc so they are the best i reckon, if good enough for Michelin, good enough for us?

Their number is actually 0113 218 8777

I asked about tyre prices, and if I got slicks fitted whilst I was buying tyres they would charge £5 a corner + VAT.
