Replacing the tyre on AF alloy rims

Postby Muttleyoo7 » Mon Jul 20, 2015 12:21 pm

Does anyone know of anywhere in the Southampton/ Portsmouth area that can supply and fit tyres to alloy AF or SIP rims and not knackering them in the process?

Having these rims is going to work out expensive if you don't get many miles out a tyre.

To put in in perspective, if it were a split rim you would need to take in the cost of a new tube plus you would probably do it yourself which would most likely account for an hour or 2 of your time.
