miko_supra Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I'm buying tyres online for the first time and in the past the fitment has always come with the price. What should I expect to pay? The wheels are new also so no old tyres to remove either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leelbuk Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've always paid about a £5 per tyre for fitting and balancing at my local tyre place. Regardless of if old tyres are fitted or not. Don't think I'm being ripped off there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Sounds reasonable. Cheers mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4packet Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Why not just ring your local fitters? £15 each is more realistic for a 'decent' garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously i'm going to call someone, but knowing what sort of price to expect before hand ensures that I'm not going to be paying too much.

PeteA Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 My local was going to one wheel for "a pint" but they guy did it well, quick and there was no wait, so I ended up tipping him the £20 in my pocket. Happy to do that for helpful young whipper-snapper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
