Stevie72 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Anyone recommend any places in and around the Essex area? Rochford Tyres look pretty good. Looking online, but would prefer to be able to take a good look around a warehouse/large specialist outlet. Anyone got any recommendations, also from other posts see that 18 inch seems best for handling etc (well apart from standard 17's). What about size tyres - stick to standard 235/45/ and 255/40/ or perhaps bigger rubber? Budget around £1k + Thanks Kind Regards Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Personally I'd buy online, I've not had the best experiences at rochford tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie72 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Also seen a place called #topgear# in Great Dunmow, looks like a good selection. Would F 235/40/18 and R 265/35/18 fit on UK TT ? Edited November 28, 2008 by Stevie72 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Also seen a place called #topgear# in Great Dunmow, looks like a good selection.

Stevie72 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 (edited) Hi Pig - Looking it up it's a franchise and it operates from Auto imagination - who i have heard of. Thanks for the offer - do you have any ideas of places - seem to quite a few on A13 etc - but want to stick to North Essex if i can. Postcode of the place is down at CM6 1XG - Unit 9 Zone D, Chelmsford Rd Edited November 28, 2008 by Stevie72 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 You have a UK TT? They aren't going to have anything in stock that'll clear your brakes without a spacer... I do have a few things though, bit of hike from Essex though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
