Where if you know our area can I get my tyres change onto new wheels?
Very concerned about the old butcher tyre changers that still use alloy guides.
In the States on U tube I see a lot of low profile tyres being changed on the machines that have rubber guides now, it there a place like that here?
Your area. ???
At a guess I’d say Bournemouth judging by the sub title.
Edit to add:-
The reason I said Bournemouth (with smiley) is because that’s whats in your profile. Then you follow that by saying I’m wrong ???

New forest to be precise
If you go to your “profile” and enter it in “location” it will appear in the info box on the left of each post, look at the other posts on this thread and you’ll see what I mean.
Great thanks I’ll do that when I finished knitting
Meanwhile can anyone recommend a good tyre company in or around the new forest or Bournemouth or Southampton area?
Thanks in advance

The problems of watching YouTube.
No, the problems of getting your wheels fu£% up by incompetent fitters.
A quick search shows lots of forum threads about alloy damage - quite depressing really.
Bigger alloys particularly those fitted with ultra low profile tyres seem to cause a lot of problems.
I could only find one recommended fitter after a quick search - Kwik-fit - apparently they use lever less machines, whatever that means.
Found this recommendation thread…
They mention Pro Tyres in Portsmouth
Look to be recommended generally…
