With hardly anyone using their cars because of this coronavirus lockdown, the garages will have less work too.
You should be seen quickly I would imagine.

Re: Best place for mid-range tyres in Sunderland?
Thanks all.
I wanted those Falken tyres that @Sunderland Nut was talking about because of the warranty but Hi Performance was closed and I need the car on the road very soon.
Peacock Tyres done it for me with Maxxis Mecotra ME3 which are mid-range. I asked the fitter if he would check the other front tyre and he advised me because of the mileage I do that I'd be better off if I changed it as I might get a couple of weeks out of it and I would still have to go back.
No way do I want to mess about so I am the proud owner of two new front tyres now.
£90.00 down though

Money well spent.
It might hit you hard in the pocket now but they should last between 15-20,000 miles.
What was that you said again?

In my case well over 300 miles a week but recently about 400 after covering for some.
