    I used to use a tyre place in Barnsley many, many, years ago, probably early 90's. A really knowledgeable guy just up from a roundabout in a converted old roadside house, each room was a different brand.
    Do you know the place I'm trying to describe?

    That sounds very much like the old National Tyres branch.
    Just found this on the net (scroll down)......

    I'm guessing the knowledgable guy would be Stuart who retired some years ago.
    When I first started going there the large buildings behind didn't exist.

    Spot on @Pegscraper ;)

    Yes, it probably was Stuart, now you've mentioned the name. Had some great chats with him and he introduced me to sticking a fingernail hard in to the rubber to gauge grip over mileage.
    I still do it now as a matter of habit :joy:
