    Hi Folks :)

    Anybody know of a good tyre dealer that won’t damage alloy wheels when they change your tyres. I’m in Fife east Scotland and willing to travel about 100 miles round trip .

    PS has anybody got more than 4k out of a pair of Dunlop SP01 205/40/18 run flats? :disapprove:

    Cheers J.Cee

    don't know where in the country you are, but my local tyre dealer Forsyth of Denny, have changed many tyres for me and looked after them well. It's family owned and run, they seem to care..

    Give them a shot if it's not too big a trek for you. Also they gave me a great price for my last tyres (Falken ZE512's 215/40/17 for £65 each fitted inc balancing)
