Smiffy69 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have a spare set of CR500' I need to get fitted. Can anyone recommend a good place to get them swapped over and balanced near Fareham? Also I seem to recall that if yo ucan get them done at ~ £10 / Corner thats not bad value - is that about right ?cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Miller 7 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi SmiffyI always use Mike at Hamble Tyres 023 80457333I'm only in Titchfield so Hamble not far. He does one or two other Caterhams I know of so is used to NOT damaging magnesiums or 8 spokes. Tenner a corner should cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubbster Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Believe it or not I use Kwik-Fit in Gosport, the lads in there swap 4 tyres over for me and balance for £20 beer money if they aren't busy and in many years of them doing this I've never had a rim damaged.

gulf 1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 With regard to getting tyres fitted I would like to warn members of getting them fitted at a Halfords Autocentre.I recently had some tyres fitted to my tintop at Halfords in Gloucester,not a pleasant experience.On picking up my car the tyres and wheels were covered in tyre soap but worse than that they had chipped a spoke and the rim on my 18" alloy.On pointing this out to them they did not want to know saying it must have been like that before.After a heated argument with them and getting nowhere I had no option but to leave.I eventually got in touch with their customer services team and after sending them emails and photos. of the damage they admitted liability.To be fair they did pay for the wheel to be repaired but did not compensate me for the time and expense I incurred in getting it done.So all in all I would urge caution in who you get to fit your tyres.PS does anyone know a trustworthy tyre fitter in the Gloucester area.
