Fitting tyres??

[escort21]

Got my 195/45/13 dunlops fitted to my 7" superlites today.....apparently they were bloody tight to fit and the bead broke on the last one ....was told there was a place in pottersbar that specialises in fitting them...is this true or the round ones??...had to order a new tyre as well now

breaking the bead is not good news....i used to do them and sometimes i had a right pig of tyres to get on

Too right! My dad fits his mates 225/35/18 beemer tyres, now they're pretty damn tight! Do go on eventually though.

They are bastardly tight. Breaking the bead completley is pretty hard to do mind, nicking a bit of the rubber off it is the most i've ever managed to feck up.

Try and find a place near you that has a Artiglio Master fitting machine. We've got one where i work, they are NEW NEW top of the range shizzle, and make things SOOOO easy, even run flats are a piece of cake. Mounts through the centre of tyre and no levers used at all, nothing touches the rim so no wheel marks/damage...
