Nope! Tyres for my car are £250 a time!


Shame you are too far from Micheldever Tyres as I bet you could save a lot
on that price, I've saved over £100 on two in the past just by taking a day
out in Hampshire.

They are part of the Protyre group nowadays so you may get similar
prices at one of their branches if you ask, I agree years ago when
they were independent it was hard to beat them.
I am in Hampshire but use a small independent up the road,If I give
him enough notice he usually can come close to Micheldevers prices and
there is not a 30 car long queue though admittedly Micheldever are
fairly quick. But I doubt if they would swap my wheels fitted with
Winter tyres over for almost no charge twice a year. The actual
charge is a pack of chocolate digestives. And its a two mile round
trip instead of forty.

True but when we went on Monday to get some new tyres there was no queue we
were straight to the front. I also like them because they are so efficient,
friendly and professional. Not the normal tyre monkeys at all. That and my
wife is a Hampshire lass and likes to visit "her" county for lunch which
rather dents any savings.
