Recommendation 2

Two part recommendation here

Firstly, a local business, I needed some new tyres for the Turbobrick and searching the forums I found a make/model of tyre that got good reports from other drivers. Ringing round the usual places (Kwick Fit, National etc) got a price of just under £60 a tyre. On the net I could buy them for £36.60 delivered. Went to get the car washed at the hand wash place in Bash(the ex Petrol station on the left just before Hollands) and he does tyres. I ask him how much he could do them for. £47 a piece fitted. Got them fitted by him on Saturday. Got to say, a very decent bloke who took care of my alloys when fitting, torqued all nuts up properly and did a very good job. Threw in a free wash and wax as well. I also needed a new bulb and wipers and his prices for these were very good.

Top job at a very good price, he deserves to do well.

Secondly the tyres themselves

NanKang NS2's 205/50 16s V rated (150mph) for under £50 fitted. Very quiet, much better than the Michelin and Uniroyals I took off. Grip in wet and dry is excellent, good feedback through the wheel. As long as they last for >25K miles I will be well happy(reports on turbobricks say 30K+ is acheiveable if you rotate them properly)

So if you need some new tyres, give the lads up there a call(Baxenden Tyre Services 01254 234700). Not only may you save money but you are keeping your cash in the local economy(Should keep Gayle quiet as well

).

I've only just seen this - are you trying to help me break the record or the most threads with one person's name in it? It's a good job I double check the search feature every now and then to check who's taking my name in vain.

Thanks entwisi,
A few seconds before reading your post I was scouring the net looking for quality tyres at a reasonable price for my Vectra.
I need two and my last two that I bought on seperate occasions cost me £130-00 and £85-00 (that was a foreign make) so I will make sure that I pop in to see these guys first.

2 quality tyres for £55-00 each inc fitting etc

Thanks
