I'd just like to recommend etyres.co.uk, its the first time ive used a mobile tyre fitter, the main reason i used them was with the terrible weather I was struggling to find a dry few days so i could get tyres fitted.

Any way the tyres were cheaper than black circles, and the chap who came to fit rang me first thing and told me exactly when he was coming so I didn't have to wait in all day, and most importantly he was truly mad completely bonkers a joy to have around!!

However the heavens opened while he was fitting the new boots so the car got wet anyway. So i've spent today giving it a clean

Here it is new boots and a rinse, i know it a hairdressers car and its a bit shit before anyone points it out but it only does 1000 miles a year when the sun is shining, and because i hardly use it I still enjoy it every time i get in.

Yes, "etyres" have decent prices, I did try to use them but we were out of thier range.

Meanwhile...Thats a nice little blue motor - we are after a banger - do you want to flog it?

Opened up the site, and got that pr*ck Aemonn Holmes telling me how good they are............

Could be useful if their prices are close -

Pirelli for my X-Trail: £153.70

Yokohama fitted by Blandford Tyres 4wks ago: £120

Etyres website doesn't show any reduction for ordering 2 or more either

Think I'll take the car to the tyres - not the other way round

I heard there have been problems with trying to balance the tyres on a machine fitted to a van.

I'm no expert so don't shoot the messenger...

Possibly, but it was just the rears and they seem fine, I cant feel any imbalance, only tried up to 70mph. Any problems, etyres will have to come back.

However when I had some boots on the other car the wheels where balanced on the car, first time ive seen this looked very trick. I was impressed until I drove the car the vibration was terrible, I had to take it back. I think its probably down to the amount of care the fitter takes rather than the equipment used.

BTW the car looks great, we were looking at one for my wife, we ended up with an MX5...

I do like mx5's, Deffo the better car when ever I see a nice one I think I should have bought one. But I just liked the look of the z3 at the time.
