Anywhere in Cheshire that folk are aware of?

Same, or North West generally. Took mine to Jeffreys HPT in Warrington today, they did my last set two years ago and no dice! Now I have a problem. I’m guessing Minisport in Padiham, but don’t think they’re open weekends anymore.

One I would no longer recommend is Jeffreys HPT in Warrington. Have been my go to for years, used to be top notch. But when I took my daily in recently the damaged a pressure centre, but in fairness replaced at their cost. Thought I’d give them another go for my 10 Revolutions, but as said above they called to say they wouldn't go in their machine. Collected them thinking that they'd not really done anything with them as they were boxed. Loading the rims and tyres back unto the car to try somewhere else this morning and notice one rim and one tyre are wrecked. Let’s see what they say Monday, but the tome was set on the phone earlier with “They weren’t damaged when they left here”, oh yes they were but I didn’t see it because your fitted boxed the rims and tyre back up before handing them back!

Jeffrey's are local to me. Lots of staff turnover recently and I understand that the long-serving manager who's been there years has left too. I need to find a new tyre place generally, not just for 10" rims.

Yes Neil has moved on, as manager at least. The current staff seem to be shipped in temporarily from other local branches, it feels like a proper mess. If you do find somewhere you trust let me know, because I’m in the same boat now. Cheers.

 

Ethel, I’m already on the hunt for trailer places locally. The second place I tried yesterday can certainly fit 10s, they were just struggling with getting tyres on these, due to the offset centre drop by the sounds of it.

There is also a basic way of balancing them. Slacken off the rear shoes and mount the wheel. Gently spin it in both directions and the heavy point is at the bottom when it stops (repeat a few times). add weight opposite this point. Repeat until it stops in random places.
