   Not all local tyre fitters are equiped with the stuff to do.
   
   phone around all the tyre places near you, do your homework and you will find out

   165/50/15? Most places should be fine, tho when my mate had that size tyre on a 7inch rim it needed bead blasting it the tyre wouldn't pop and seal, don't understand why people have to be pricks with their replys on here tbh
