Replaced fronts after 22k miles & rears have just hit the tread wear indicator at just under 26k miles.

Mightily impressive for a 400hp car. My old Q7 used to eat tyres every 5000 miles.

Out of interest where do you guys go, or intend to go, for tyre replacements?

I don't trust the likes of Kwik Fit etc. to treat the wheels as I would expect to avoid damaging the alloys.

ATS Euromaster [owned by Michelin].
A good reputation independent tyre dealer in your area.
Central Tyres [owned by Pirelli] or an accredited Pirelli Performance Tyre dealer.
Your OPC for peace of mind, but best if they do not outsource work to a local mobile tyre fitter.

FYI - Stapletons group own Kwik-Fit and they in turn are owned by the Itochu group of Japan.

Thanks. Good to know for the future.

I presume if a fitter was to damage an alloy they would have responsibility to repair it. I just imagine their being a clause in their T&C's exonerating them.

My local OPC will price match within 20 miles and they do all the work.

Always worth checking.

I would never use Kwik fit even if it was free πŸ˜–

That's a good deal. Who is your dealer? I wonder if others do the same.

Part of the jardine group. See link below. The price match is clear and simple but always worth a call to check.
Colchester, Cambridge or east London.

I used price match at East London back in May after Kas’ recommendation. Worked a treat!
