They used to, I've never been there for ages now. Or does anyone know anywhere else good that does?

Re: Anyone know if peacock tyres still do remoulds?
If you do find remoulds, you'll probably find new tyres are just a few pounds more and are too tempting.
Peacock Tyres is a good honest place for getting you back on the road and their prices are always competitive.
Sounds like I work for them
I drive up to 130 miles a day while I do my job so I need my tyres checked often and that's the first place I think of.
I got new tyres for my Hyundai I10 for £35 each and that sorted me out.
Remoulds (never seen these in years) I wouldn't touch at all if I was ever going to do high-speed travelling.
They have probably improved a lot over the years but they once had a bad reputation that's why I never consider them now.
The other alternative and I've done this many times before, is to go for part-worn tyres.
I got mine at Back Parade Hendon.
Just google for part-worn tyres in Sunderland to see what is available.
Nowadays I just pop into Peacocks on account of the time I have available (too much hard work) and buy their cheapest tyres.
I see them as the Aldi of the tyre world - decent prices for what you need.
Good luck with finding the right tyres and if you are only ever a local driver like me, just go for the cheapest option.
I've done this all my life and never had a problem but I do note that cheaper tyres wear down much quicker than the expensive ones.
That probably sums up "you get what you pay for".

Get the part-worn if you can. Many are imported from Germany if I remember correctly where their standards are much higher than ours. Great value but I haven't changed the tyres in a few years now so I don't know where is best. I haven't seen remoulds for a long time.

I would ring Peacocks and Foremost Tyres at Southwick and see how they compare with the options available.Steve30000 wrote: ↑30 Oct 2022, 18:47Just checked the prices elsewhere for tyres I've already got... £100 each..blockheed wrote: ↑30 Oct 2022, 15:16 Get the part-worn if you can.

You can only put it to them and they are both down-to-earth places that will set you up with what you need
Those prices would kill me right now so I wouldn't dash into things.
