Does anybody out there in Southampton / Bournemouth area know of any decent tyre dealers?, perhaps even a place where you can get discounts for being in the Zone?

Get on ebay mate - tyre shops on there beat all prices, just need a garage to fit (£15)

Can't remember what they're called (might be Mitcheldever tyres) near Winchester that's supposed to be cheap :)

I've used them a few times when I was working in the area - recommended; they had a state-of-the-art balancing thingy

Yep micheldever is the cheapest around, bar internet prices or trade prices. If you go on a saturday be prepared for an hour + long queue. I'm not joking either. :cry:

Yep another thumbs up for micheldever here, best to go in the week sometime if you can though.
Give em a call and find out if the tyres are cheaper than the internet prices + fitting you can get
Cheers,
Robin

They've certainly been around a while! I used to use them 35 years ago.

I used ACE tyres in fareham recently for the E46 the service and price good. Very reasonable, also priced up 15" again reasonable price.
