27 hours after ordering from Camskill 2 lovely T1R Proxes appear! Impressed.

Now, as discussed in another thread a while back, is the small issue of getting someone to fit them.....

Farmer Autocare want £19.95 a corner
National Tyres, £15 and changing the fronts to rears another £13, total £43

What experience have folk of this? Has anyone tried mobile fitting services for example?

Thanks smile

This seems the way to go, I'm getting it serviced out of town the week after next so I'll trawl one or two of the locals. Cheers smile

If Sam or Joe reads this can they recall if the rears were balanced as well as the fronts? I would tend to think so.......
