Tyre Swap...

Postby -Dan-Knee- » Mon Jul 09, 2007 4:59 pm

Heya peoples,

Just wondering if any1 here works somewhere where they can do me a huge favour.
Ive got 4 wheels 2 with bald tyres (mine) and 2 with good tyres (a mates) and was wondering if someone can swap the tyres onto the other mags.
My rims plus the new tyres will need an alignment but the other 2 wont.
Surely someone on here works somewhere this can be done and can hook me up with a good deal.

Could do sum cash for the workplace and alco for whoever hooks me up.
Would be greatly appreciated as im a poor student and need it done asap really.

I can be contacted on 0273057446 or PM'd on here.

Cheers Heaps

I paid $100 while in AK to get 4 tyres removed from rims and get 4 other tyres (that weren't on rims) put on the rims. I only did that because I had no choice at the time.

Yeah some shops charge others dont. And others do depending on the weather.

Tonys in Kilbirnie used to be good as I was in every other week getting rims checked, tires swapped (when I was acquiring rims), swapping race and road rubber
