bradleyh_15 Posted August 17, 2021 Author Share Posted August 17, 2021 Got the tyres fitted at last , wasn’t bloody cheap either £130 to fit the tyres and balance them But they look good 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter P Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Nice! Looking damn good mate, bet you’re itching to get the car back and put them on? That does seem a bit pricey for the fitting and balancing, but if they did it well and didn’t damage the wheels, it’s worth it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems very steep in relation to everything else Not being a dick but it’s not an hours work, so taking into account time, % machinery costs and overheads there’s some serious markup there but yeah no damage and not many places are happy to touch them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did my new Wedsports when I had the ISF, only charged me £60 I seem to recall for fitting and balancing, but they weren’t as pricey as the new ones. Worried now, but I’ll cross that bridge when the time comes! Lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally they’d have a machine that didn’t damage wheels and a competent tyre fitter, then it wouldn’t matter how much they cost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly but they are worried and most of the places don’t have a top of the range tyre machine like a hunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
