Had 4 x Eagle F1s fitted on wife's car by major fitter's mobile service and despite 2 attempts there was tremor in the steering that wasn't there before. Took the car to Protyres Slough, they said it had been done using the counter-balance method, they re-did all 4 for £27 and car is perfect. Also had the car 4-wheel aligned for £62. To their credit, original fitter refunded me the £27.
So, took the 997 there today as I felt the balancing was not 100% despite being recently done. They weren't out by much, but I watched how the guy got them spot on. I've been to Protyre Slough a few times, they are obliging without flanneling and from watching them work they do seem to give a damn and they'll price match on tyres if they can.
