Melbourne Tyres?

Never Never Never will I use Melbourne Tyre again!

Despite I can see the nail, he insisted I had to change my tyre. Installed a tyre which has a different load and speed ratings to the rest of the 3 tyres and charged me ?85 for a unbranded tyre, made in Thailand, without receipt. My car ESP signal came up very soon after as the tyre is not compatable with the rest.

Even a michelin at Kwik fit will cost less than ?80 including fitting!!!

Why didn't you ask for a receipt?


If you have problems, you have no proof of purchase.


Though I would never use the ED Kwik Fit again, as suggested above. They were rude and unhelpful when I went there a few months back, or at least the person I spoke to was.


I got the tyre replaced at a really helpful and efficient little place in Oxford.


Not very convenient if the replacement is time critical though!

We used MT once...they did an OK job..but refused to give a receipt when asked. We now go to KF and find them very good. The last time we went for what we thought might be a new tyre but the guy who served us showed us the point where a screw had pierced the tyre and repaired it/checked it out without fuss or scaremongering.

All I can say is I had the opposite experience. I went in with a flat tyre caused by a nail and asked for a new tyre but he said no need for a new one, I can fix that hole for you for ?15.


That was earlier this year and tyre has been fine since then.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
