Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • PistonHeads: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

Nick. Another place to try is Micheldever Tyres, Micheldever Station, Hampshire. If you're local they'll supply almost anything, fit it, balance and computer align etc at reasonable cost. I have heard they'll ship tyres mail order..but I haven't tried this... They were by FAR the least expensive place to get an all round set of 18" P Zero Asimetricos for my Boxster. google will find you the site nice and quickly.. www.google.co.uk

Be careful with Micheldever. They did a lousy job of balancing and aligning re my Lotus Carlton once. You'd think they'd take more care with a type of car that has done 187mph on a straight bit of road. They are extremely cheap, though. Two others to try are: Headley Tyres and Wheatley Tyres (again, google searches may be productive). These places are just as cheap and customer care *may* be better. Best bet is to buy tyres mail order from micheldever, then get them fitted at your local trustworthy balancing/alignment place. Remember, no 15 minute alignment is worth it. Go for a four wheel job with a specialist once a year - crappy aligments do more harm than good (I had 6 mil toe out after Micheldever... asked them to set it to 1 mm toe IN). Rgds Domster

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm interested in getting some RUF 19inch wheels for my 911, (along with a few other RUF mods from the factory). How easy is it to get tyres for them. Can't imagine they're that popular at the local Kwikfit!
