perfidious - good word.  I had to look up what it meant.  Your english is becoming to good, Gilles.  You will need to dumb it down a bit for the average Brit to understand you. Grin

yes it is !!!

It's a Norauto centre probably open until 7 pm on saturday, also a Midas centre, quite smaller but probably as convenient...

When you come from the circuit coming from the Route de Tours, yo pass front the carrefour, continue 25m and Norauto is on your right. Midas is on the other way and you access to it coming from the city centre to the Carrefour.

Sorry Stu, really not have time these days for drawing a "tyre map".

I also need to add a new LPG station 4 kms from the circuit and easily accessible.

You don't win Le Mans - you outlast it.

Yep kerbed front nearside tyre at Portsmouth damaging side wall, as it was 2030hrs, we limped down to Le Mans. On visiting said tyre outlet it must be noted that if they do not have your tyre tread in stock, they will only supply and fit a pair. They had no Goodyears like the ones on my car, so had to purchase a pair of Michelin's. I do not know how you would go on by just taking the wheel in to them, maybe Gilles could answer that one.
So the old wallet was lightened by approx £240, and to add
more pain when asked what pressure to inflate at, me soft arse held up 4 fingers as you do for 40 psi, this was interpreted as 40 bar. The car handled like a bitch all the way home, thought I would check the pressures to find both fronts had been inflated to over 90 psi.
So hope this info helps to overcome some of the pit falls.
Brian.

It's quite normal to change the pair of tyres. For your own security, you need to have the both same tyre on your axle.

Concerning inflating pressure, it's a professionnal fault... of the employee. he needed to check on the notice book or more generally the sticker located on the side on the door to read the pressure !

Was it Norauto? (a blue and yellow logo) It may be quite possible of such an incompetence.

I'm sorry but I didn't have an inflating station in my own garage, only a manual pump but without manometre !!!
