Where do you get your tyres fitted.

Do people buy tyres online and get local tyre garages to fit or do you get the dealer to supply and fit?

Online and local place personally.

Online and then fit locally - much cheaper!

Wouldn't trust a dealer to fit a tyre.

Online then use a mobile fitter (and car fanatic) who I trust who turns up at my house and always takes great care.

That’s what I thought, car before this I used to use etyres but there prices seem on the high side for 21s, but loads of the local tyre garages near me have also disappeared, so need to find a mobile fitter I think.

If you love a "new car" type super smooth ride then anywhere with a Road Force balancer which matches tyre high and low spots to any deformity in wheel. I would think it essential for people with bendy 21s

Not that you need bent wheels to benefit - no wheel / tyre is perfectly round or uniform in construction.
Once you have used a Road Force you will never go back to a normal dynamic balancer.
See here for your nearest one. Order online and get delivered to them.

I use a garage in rugby very competitive and he is a fellow car nut and takes care when doing the job.

Yeah right. Tyres in onnline... now we leave in 2018 and you might get tyres in onnline which made 2014 or 2015. And thats it. Better use 2018 nangkang tyres than 2015 michelin pilot supersport. Do not buy tyres in onnline.

This is not true. Tyre leader clearly state if the tyres are old otherwise they are all recently manufactured.

Good for you. In Finland if you buy in online you might get very old tyres.

Surely it depends on the company you buy from?

Do tyreleader not deliver to Finland? Never had a problem with old tyres from them (as Mike says - they tell you if they’re an old dot code, and are usually cheaper)
