Need a pair of tyres changing on mega.....bought a nearly new set from a mate for good price..rang local tyre place and they want £20=00 + vat per whell to fit my own tyres..seems bit steep or am i just in a mean mood !

[Paulus]

That sounds about right. There's so little mark-up on tyres, fitment is how they make their money.

so that's a bit over £23 per wheel!!

personally i wouldn't pay that much, but then i'm a tight git

[amba]

Thought it sounded pricey,but then I did save on the tyres so perhaps it is just "tight wallet" syndrome.

[Jay w]

bear in mind that some of that will be the disposal cost of the old tyres as well

[Markie]

thats dear, just had two changed on the wifes for £18 all inclusive

[Jimbob]

Think its a tenner a wheel around here

[ians]

I paid £15 for a puncture repair, which is more work but no disposal. I think its a bit steep myself, but remember they will be doing the valve? and balancing as well.

[amba]

Just back from local tyre dealers..they did me a deal of £60=00 for the 4 including balance and disposal for cash,so think I got a fair deal ,now feel better and car might grip the road again..good bye to the Nankongs but they lasted 23k so lets hope the ebay P6000 last  as well.

[Elite Pete]

£7 + the dreaded here or if I go when the boss is out, a couple of pints

[Markjay]

Been charged £25 at a small local tyre shop here a couple of years ago... that's London  

[Danny]

got charged a tenner for a puncture repair, but considering the valve and balancing, not bad at all, so i think they're burgling you
