Wheel specialist is good - probably one of the few good things about  BUrton  :'( apart from the football teams amazing upward trend!

There is also an excellent local powder coating specialist - a local business which has been around for many years - just off Branston Road.  I can't remember the company name but its the first turn left at the  bridge across Branston Road, I had my 4.8 winter alloys redone there at only £40 a wheel. Its one of those businesses that only the locals seem to know about - the tyre fitters told me about them a few years ago. Will check the name when I am next down that way. They are the only industrial workshop in the road.

Open to offers, you only need two tyres as the rears are still in good nick plus you could sell your wheels and tyres to offset the cost. Go on, you know you want to  ;).

Malvern Tyres in Wetmore Road ( close to Wheel Specialist) offer great prices on tyres.  They will match or better most prices.  Also very inexpensive to do the summer / winter wheel change around. Worth remembering when you need tyres again.
