Well.......
ive been a tyre fitter for the last 15 or so years but mainly in truck and agriculture, big stuff that's easier to work with.
never really bothered with car stuff, 17.5 inch and above, the bigger the better!!
im "retired" now, no pun intended
the andy the tyre man moniker comes about from when I worked at a haulage company a few years ago,
one of the directors was also called Andy and he sounded a bit like me on the phone so if I had to ring any of the drivers or other staff it was easier to start the conversation with "hi, it's andy, the tyre man" to save confusion.
Then it stuck as my nickname.
Even had it on the side of my van!!h
