    Tyre fitting at home

    I've used Event Tyres previously to have some rears fitted, but just come across these people. Now Event did an excellent job, very careful fitter and also patient, waiting for me to paint the balance weights he'd used before refitting the wheels, though the prices that tyres on the drive are...

    CLS55/E55 Rear Drag Wheel + Tyre setup

    Hi, I've noticed one or two of these going up for sale over the last few years. Does anyone have any kicking around they don't want or know where I can a reasonably priced set? I know Fabtech (US) do a read drag wheel setup but shipping kills the deal as usual.

    e55 tyre pressure warning

    I tried out a different set of wheels on my car the other day but then decided I'd put the originals back on but after numerous attempts to reset the system the orange warning light remains on all the tyres are set at the correct pressure and the monitor confirms this, any ideas anyone ?

    Tyre pressures

    Since I discovered the great handling with correctly inflated tyres, I try to keep them spot on. I use one of the digital auto cut-off Michelin tyre inflators. However, even a few days after inflating them, I've noticed that they lose air. This was the case with the last set of tyres and the...

    mobiletyres2u.co.uk Mobile Tyre fitting

    I thought it was worth sharing the review I've just written for Mobile Tyre Fitting High Wycombe & Watford | Mobile Tyres 2 U Ltd, with whom I was very impressed. I've always been wary of mobile tyre fitters (hell of any tyre fitters!), but these guys have won me over -- anyone in NW London or...

    Tyre Pressure Monitor Help

    My tyre valve broke of my car on Sunday so got it replaced. Before I gave it to the mechanic to replace it was showing all the tyre pressure levels for all for tyres, really low for the one where the valve had broken because air had come out when trying to fill pressure (it was dark). Anyway...

    C63S Tyre Wear

    Surprise, surprise NOT the rear tyres. Having decided to move my Edition 1 on I arranged to take it back to the agent I bought it from. Having given the car a good check over and especially the rear tyres, which he thought had been replaced, as the car has done 7300 miles all was deemed...

    Tyre fitting costs

    Looking at fitting costs for 2 or 4 18" tyres on alloys from mytyres.com Anything from £13 to £20 a wheel, which has surprised me. Urban myth that it was £10 a tyre , perhaps rounding up to £50 for 4 don't seem to hold up. To be fair spending £400 on tyres and then skimping on £20 and not...

    Tyre pressure sensor

    We are looking at ordering a set of winter wheels and tyres for my wife's 2013 SLK. It currently has tyre pressure sensors fitting on the manufactures wheels. Would it cause any issues to fit other wheels without these sensors? Will it constantly give an error message? Thanks
