Did you find a tyre supplier, I am doing up my carriage pram as well and need new tyres. I did see a message reply on this site about tyre suppliers but can't find it now Thanks
Pauline
I have found a firm in the UK (Aquaseal) that make pram tyres to order. Many thanks Pauline
I haven't done anything about the tyres yet as i am having my silver stream pram professionally resprayed at a garage. I did make a note of the place who can make new tyres. The company is called, Aquaseal Ltd and they are based in Newcastle, tel : 0191 2624555 and ask for Jason. He has dealt with people before who want tyres for their prams. I'm sure someone on the forum said it cost around £50.00 for 4 new tyres. Hope this helps. Best wishes. Zoe.
Thanks, Tricia

Thanks for the message, I have been in touch with Aquaseal and they are making me a set, they cost £60 for a set now. Many thanks
Thanks for letting me know. £60 is a very good price considering how much one can pay. Did you have to send a wheel or two wheels if the front and back are different sizes and how much does it cost for postage please? I would be grateful for any information. I have a couple of prams which need new tyres but i wonder how many wheels i need to send to them? How long did they say it would take? Kind regards. Zoe. SILLY ME! I HAVE JUST REALISED! OF COURSE, I WOULD HAVE TO SEND ALL FOUR WHEELS SO THEY CAN PUT THE NEW TYRES ON! Adverts Currently On Preloved - Place an ad here for free

They are very helpful.
If you have the original buckles , then take them to a cobblers , rather than a saddlers. I have done this recently and got new ones made for £1.50 each in good quality leather. If you dont have the buckles then someone suggested to me going to a pet shop and buying dog or cat collars, obviously you need to measure first. Failing this, try a wanted ad on preloved or similar. Hope this helps. Carolyn
Forgot to say that because my cobbler didnt have any small offcuts of leather I bought a leather belt from a charity shop - it cost a £1 and he was quite willing to use that to cut the straps from.Charity shops are great for getting leather belts from as you can get rummage and get the right thickness etc. So the charge of £1.50 per strap was for cutting and attaching the original buckle - but still a bargain. Often it doesnt have to be a cobbler as such, keycutters who also do shoe repairs will sometimes do it. Regards Carolyn
