Did they warn you beforehand that they might damage it and, if so, did they say they would not be responsible? If they didn't I don't see that they've got a leg to stand on. Try arguiing with them and if that fails contact your local Trading Standards office to see how you stand.
Hope it sorts itself out well for you.
Na, there was no discussion before they attempted to put the tyre on, first lad said he cudnt do it, second lad tried.... but went too far!
I know we mabe shud try get sum compensation out of them, but dont think it wud be fair as we knew the wheel / tyre combination arent exactly 'the norm'!
