Fitting internet supplied tyres - where in the Fareham, Pompey, Soton area?

Why not get it all done by Etyres.co.uk - they come out to you and are about 40% cheaper.

I have always found resistant from tyre fitters to fit tyres not supplied by them in the Gosport/Fareham/Portsmouth area.

MrTFWitt:
I went to my usual independent tyre and exhaust place with a boot full of tyres last weekend expecting to just get them fitted for cash.

However the attitude turned colder than a penguins plums when he found out I had got tyres from the internets instead of him.
When I phoned for a quote for mud tyres they just didnt bother calling back so I assumed they couldn't get them.

The place was Buzy Bbut not full as there was at least one chap stood around scratching and yawning.
Despite offering to pay a good rate to get them fitted, they quoted £5 a tyre when I phoned and I offered £10 and I'll take the old ones away,  he simply insisted I could try coming back after 3pm then launched into a bit of a rant about how internet tyres were undermining their profits.

Instead I went to a local breakers and got them fitted and balanced for £5 a tyre, I'll be using them again I think.
Need to keep the breakers in business too.

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Many thanks for all of the replies.

I finished up buying from the internet and having them fitted via one of theirauthorised fitters.

The big boys wouldn't touch them at all!!

TechnoTurkey:
I had a similar problem with getting some Insas fitted last year, got them done for £8 each in the end but some places wanted £15 a wheel.

Next time I think I will source everything locally as this doesnt end up being that cheap in the end.
