Default Tyre fitters - Glasgow area

Any recommendations for a good tyre dealer/fitter in the Glasgow area? Just got quoted £25 for fitting a single tyre by my local Suzi dealer!?!?!

Default Re: Tyre fitters - Glasgow area

I have been using National tyres in Cardonald for years. I buy my tyres from them and used to just ride in (every month!), take my wheels off (they have stands and tools and are always willing to give a hand) and watch them getting fitted.
Have a garage now so chuck the loose wheels in the motor.

They will phone for tyres (may ask you for a deposit)and they will be delivered to get fitted in a day or two.

Fitting, valve and balance and a disposal all included in price you pay for tyre. £180-190 for a set of Avon Storms if I remember. Not found anybody that can beat the price AND convenience.

If you have already bought your tyres you may have to bite the bullet and pay a bike garage.

MO are a fecking joke , but a good parts guy.

Good call, I've booked in for Friday morning to get it done.

Thanks, they were very helpful and we got things fitted nicely after struggling a bit to get the front wheel off. I'll be using them again....
