Anyone know anywhere i can get some tyres stretched on??

Went to national tyres in cambridge and the guy said i was on drugs when i showed him what tyres i wanted stretching on my wheels... i was close to loosing my rag.
so, does anyone know anywhere who will just put some tyres on some wheels without making stupid ignorant comments?
in the cambridge area would be useful
nice one

lol it is a suggestion yh as matty said try mick at mv.. what about wheelfit in cambridge?

i had the same problem with kwike fit, the guy told me i was going to die if i put a stretch on.
got them done at kingsway tyres in kings hedges, guy who did them was realy up for doing it as he had hardly ever had a request to do it.

kingsway are cool guys or cambs performance tyres they have done six streched tyres for me in the past.

What tyre are you trying to fit to what width rim? I can fit them to the rim but don't have a bead cheater so can't inflate anything too excessive...

Kingsway always used to help us out when i worked on newmarket road so are always worth a trip to.
