Just phone around till you find ones that say it's fine but you may have to sign some sort of disclaimer if it's large stretch.

I think thats about going rate for fitting tyres, you have to remember that if your supplying the tyre they cant make any money on it so they charge alot for fitting.

Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 9:43 am ---- yeah i know mate, it's annoying though because i know people who will fit tyres for a few quid for me but noone wants to do that much stretch, ah well will have to pay up i suppose
#9: Re: tyre stretching west midlands? Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:37 pm ---- Unless you have some sort of mates rate deal £10 a corner is normally about right, they have to balance them as well remember.
#10: Re: tyre stretching west midlands? Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:42 pm ---- Yeah £10 a corner is the going rate mate, I paid this not long back when fitting tyres to my new wheels.
#11: Re: tyre stretching west midlands? Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Mon Mar 19, 2012 1:18 pm ---- I would do it for free, if you lived close
Butttt
#12: Re: tyre stretching west midlands? Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Thu Apr 05, 2012 12:19 pm ---- just to clear this thread up, i tried a couple of the places the first couldn't get the tyre to pop onto the bead the bloke tried for half an hour (didn't really know what he was doing).
So i took them to Wheel Maniacs in Tipton (Dudley) and they were brilliant, knew exactly what they were doing, fitted all 4 without marking the paint at all and used bike inner tubes to trap the air and pop them onto the bead. Can't recommend them highly enough they really know what they are doing when it comes to wheels/tyres/fitment/stretch EVERYTHING!
And for the record Adam no its not just like fitting a normal tyre, it might be for you're little p***y stretch ... you can get the tyre on the rim yeah but unless you know what you're doing its not easy to pop it onto the bead at all.
