Tire shop in Dunedin

[AE85coupe]

hey does anyone work at or can recommend a good tire shop i can get some tires put on some rims?

the best would be someone who could do it as a perk for some cash or whatever

thing is the tires are 185/60/14's and the rims are 8 and 8.5 inch wide, so it will require a good quality tire machine that can stretch them on (bead blast?)

cheers

Can probably find you cheap tyres, wouldn't want to fit them to those rims however

I'm looking for a WoFable 205/55/R16 tyre for my car (directional i think) if anyone is in the know...

[Lloyd]

Do you want new or second hand? Will price you a new one if you want to go for that option

[SkylineObsession]

Second hand, as i need to buy four new ones anyway.

HRT do you know of anyone who could fit them for me? they are just almost new bridgestone g3's so i don't really want to waste them

You'll find most tyre shops will be hesitant to fit them, for safety reasons and so forth as it can come back on them in the event of a mishap.

whats unsafe about stretched tires?

i'm using 60 profile tires so there is plenty of sidewall to take up the stretch, my rears are only 8.5 inches wide and not 9 like in the above picture

Risk of popping off the bead, same as having tyres too wide for a rim.

oh yeah that makes sense, i'm still gonna risk it though

while we are on the subject of tires does anyone know if 235 tires can fit on a 6inch rim?

Yeah me too

235s will probably fit, having said that I wouldn't do it. 215s on mine and I wouldn't want to go wider without going to a 7 inch rim or wider

this may sound odd, but have you tried the myriad of tyre shops in dunedin?

[AE85coupe]

not yet as i would rather find out which one will stretch tires on for me first, before going round them all trying to find one
