    It helps if you have the tyre size when you call around. http://www.blackcircles.com/ shows you how to read it from existing tyres. Don't rely on the internet things that ask you what car you have as they tend to bring up the wrong size in my experience.

    Sadly membership only, and not many people can get membership.

    Yeah the membership is a big restriction however, a lot of people do qualify (local authority, bank staff for instance) but a way around it is to ask a friend who you know has membership to add you to their account. After 1 year you can then get your own individual membership even if you do not meet their criteria, the membership fee is easily covered by one visit!

    I never understood why membership is required myself. All it serves is to hype the place up. They're not there to make a loss to anyone with a membership I am sure, and could only make more profit scrapping the membership requirement.
