Bridgestone tyre fitted to a Mercedes A Class near Newmarket.

The week started with a request from a regular customer to move the wheels and re balance them on a trade van near Longstanton and at the same time check that the tyres were in good condition and had the correct air pressure. Next we visited a customer near Newmarket who had ordered a new Bridgestone tyre size 215/45/R17 to replace the worn tyre on the offside front of their Mercedes A class vehicle.We explained to our customer that it was best practice to fit the new tyre to the rear axle so we moved the existing rear tyre to the front and also checked the wheel was properly balanced.During our vehicle check we struggled to remove a couple of steel valve caps by hand as they had seized so we replaced them with plastic caps so it would be easier for our customer when they needed to inflate the tyres. Our customer was delighted that they did not need to leave the office and they were very appreciative of the advice we gave them.
