Tyre buffing - where?
My local performance shop have moved and things are in disarray so they can't offer a buffing service for a couple of months
Can anyone suggest places that offer this service - vaguely near the Thames Valley would be handy. TIA |

Colin Blower advertises this, not sure where he is though. Probably in Autosport guide.

Tadworth Tyres - Surrey. If they still do it, the last time I used them was a couple of years ago.

Adams & Page in High Wycombe. 01494 525971. They have tyres properly machined down, not just 'buffed' on an old wheel balancing machine with a wire brush!

Update - Tadworth Tyres gets my recommendation. Left the set with them and collected following weekend, 12 quid a wheel including refitting and rebalancing. Excellent value for money and they seem to know what they are doing. Thanks again.
