Had a blowout on A24 today [img]images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] - fortunately was at low speed so no further damage done. However need to find a source for the replacement tyres (closer inspection has revealed the other three need replacing as well).
Any recommendations in the Guildford / Leatherhead area ?
Need to get them tomorrow (Tuesday) 26th.
Have used Micheldever for the last 10 years but just do not have the time to get down there.
I know there are a few of us nearby, just hope you see this post early !

Tyres in Surrey (urgent !)

Re: Tyres in Surrey (urgent !)
What make of tyres are you after ?
I brought a set of Toyos for my VW from a place off the A24 near Bear Green (south of Dorking).
Also brought tyres rom Guildford tyres.
If you try Roadwheel at bagshot first though, as they normally price-match Micheldever (or within a couple of quid anyway). Then call guildford tyres and see how close they are prepared to get [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I also use a place the other side of Knaphill, but I forget their name (think its something like station tyres).
btw, depending on what sizes and make your after you may have to wait for them to be deliverd, as most places only keep common sizes in stock.
Cheers,
John.

Re: Tyres in Surrey (urgent !)
Many thanks for the tips. Micheldever always cheapest but Roadwheel and Guildford Tyres wouldn't price match.
Just Tyres in Guildford got the business. Gone for Pirelli P-Zeros. My S3 (defintely mine today when money needs spending) is standard everything which means 225/45 R 17W tyres. Comes out at £420 for 4 all in.

interesting they wouldn't attempt to price match.
Roadwheel were generally always prepared to have a go, and normally only a couple of quid off.
Guildford would then get within a quid of them when I've tried in the past.
420 doesn't sound like too bad a price anyway.

Re: Tyres in Surrey
Probably didn't try hard enough...
Reasonably happy with price and driving round on the space saver is hard work with a 50mph limit - got overtaken by a diesel Nova last night. Not best pleased.
