Title: Tyre suppliers
Post by: EuanM on July 10, 2018, 07:50:16 AM

Can anybody recommend someone in Glasgow/West Central Scotland for 4x4 tyres? The choice from the usual suspects (Kwik-Fit, ATS, National, and so on) is both poor and expensive.

The lightweight needs new tyres (205/80) and I need to discuss the options with someone who knows what they're talking about rather than someone trying to upsell me a full car check and fluid top up!

Cheers

Euan

Not had many dealings with them but Auchenlea tyres at Newhouse  were good with me in the past

I have previously used Strangs....

and Cooper Bros at Newmains are also quite knowledgeable (and handy)

Try KJ Tyres. If you tell them what you want, they can get them.

I bought qty 5 Insa Turbos for my 90 from them (Stirling branch) and they were cheaper than anywhere else in the UK !

Eventually bought Fedima Maxima online from Tyres Direct in the right size (6.50x16). Used the local tyre guy (Duntocher Tyres) who swapped them over for £10 per tyre.
