 Anyone else done this? - Bromptonaut
The Fabia needed four new tyres. Fronts down to 3mm and one with a slightly bubbled sidewall. Rears a bit more but manufactured in 2016 - presumably in there from new.

Checked the size and ordered 4 Firestones from National Tyres to be fitted on Saturday. Dropped key at reception and settled for what I expected to be an hour or so's wait. Less than 5 minutes I'm told I've ordered the wrong cuffing size. 215/55 instead of 215/45. Guy was almost apologetic that they'd not fit!!

Nothing in stock so rebooked with Halfords - over the road from and owners of National.

Fitted after work today.

National refunded in full.

Lass on the desk at Halfords said it happens all the time!!

Phew!!
