Best Brisbane Tyre Shops?

Harlequin · 05-17-2011, 08:50 PM

Once my 313s arrive I need to get them mounted... Any advice on trustworthy Tyre/Wheels shops in Brisbane? Preferably Northside...

Thanks!

Depending what your after Option 1 Garage have great prices of Kumho and Federals incl the semi slicks.

Not the most high tech place but they did the job just fine.

It is not that hard to mount some tyres is it? Just go to one that is convenient to you I say.

Depends if you have runflats. I've heard horror stories of rims getting stuffed at smaller shops without the right equipment to remove / mount rfts due to their stiffness.

That's one of the things I'm concerned about....

Yeah, I'm going to do that but I suspect the answer will be "we do it ourselves" whether it's true or not... That's been their answer to every similar question I ask...

For future reference or for anyone else who's interested:

Brisbane BMW recommend Vitanza's Tyre and Mechanical in Doggett St Fortitude Valley.

Gave them a call and they've quoted me $44/corner to strip/mount/balance the18" 313s.

Will report back on result once they're done.

Just to follow up, the guys at Vitanza's are awesome.

They were friendly, fast, took the job with zero notice, not a mark on the rims and cheaper than I was expecting...

Rang them this morning at 8:30 and said can I bring it in at 9? Sure, they said. Done by 10.

Very happy - recommended.
