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 am sorry to  continue this, but I found your previous  comment about me very personal,  disturbing and upsetting, which was why I responded at length. I'm sorry it bored you. I try to stick to facts. I have investigated. You (and anyone else) can go into the "search" settings on here and  do a search on an author's name. So you can (I presume) find all my posts, including any which were  replying  to you. I can't imagine that they are in greater numbers than my replies to anyone else, but you can see for yourself. I guess you can probably also find examples of what you call my "usual sarcasm". I wasn't aware that l had a tendency to sarcasm, though I do find a lot of things funny.  There is no need to reply to this unless you actually find evidence in support of what you said. Sorry everybody else. I had to get it off my chest as I was lying awake last night worrying about it 😭
