Hi, a couple of questions:

I'm looking for a company, to fit tyres to my 18s, that wont scratch or damage the wheels when they put the tyres on. Can anyone recommend a good place within a 30 minute drive from gatwick? Looking for a competitive price too.

is it possible for the runflat indicator to work with runflats fitted on aftermarket wheels?

Cheers, Chris.

I always use the Guildford Tyre Company which is based in Guildford as I used to walk past them everyday when I lived round the corner from them and there were always Lotus', Ferrari's etc in there so I thought if they are good enough for a Ferrari they will be good enough for a MINI. They have never marked my alloys yet, the tyres are always perfectly balanced and they reset the runflat system for you as well. Just had a look on their website and they have a gatwick branch (never used it as I now live in Woking and the Guildford branch is the closest):

Yep, runflat indicator on the MINI works using ABS sensors so is not dependent upon any particular wheels - so long as they're all the same size!
