I used ACE tyres in one of the industrial estates (Middlefield ?) in Falkirk to get a pair of T1Rs for my A4 fitted and they scored both alloys where they levered the old tyres off. Not serious, but bad enough to know I wouldn't go back or want to take the Elise there.

.....have also PM'd you with a suggested place in our area as officially they only fit their own tyres. (don't want to get the manager into bother !)

Found an absolute Gem!!!
NITRO tyres is a mobile tyre service that works in the Falkirk area (but I am sure he could travel further afield.
Gents name is Gary and he got disillusioned with a well known tyre fitting company, so he has decided to go it alone.
He can do wheels up to 24" diameter and has a great set up in his van.
He came to my house and fitted my tyres. Cost me £60. That may sound like a lot of money, but he takes his time and extra care with your wheels, fits them with nice new shiny metal hex caps, and here is the best bit...........he fills them with Nitrogen!
Just thought I would let you guys know.

More stable with temp changes I believe... so meant to be good if tracking/racing it. Normally quite pricey & not many places do it as far as I'm aware.
So... you really are Bob-Nitro

Doesn't expand when you use the tyres a lot (ie on track) which means you don't have to keep letting them down as the pressure increases....or sumthin like that!
