Where to buy tyres / Southampton area

Post by Greddy-Matt »

Hi guys n girls,

Can anyone recomend a good tyre shop in the southampton area?

The last place I used did my locking wheel nuts up with a windy gun and caused me huge amounts of grief getting them cut off!

Quite urgent as both rear tyres have slashes in them!

Looking for Falken 451 supplier ideally

Cheers people

There's Micheldever tyres not that far up the M3. Usually very cheap too which might offset any petrol costs.

Yup - micheldever tyres are the cheapest around (i even phone them up for a quote up here as i've not found cheaper up here since moving).

I got Kwikfit (london road southampton) to price match micheldever before, but it was a few years ago now.

micheldever rock, you might queue a little but they're cheap and treat your car well, i even trusted them to drive my '2 with new clutch onto the tracking ramps, that was a fun watch :D

if your lucky too then you'll be queued up next to some nice motors + fellow petrolheads.
