I need to get four tyres fitted. I hvae the new ones but was wondering roughly how much would i be charged. Any ideas?
-
my place charges £12.50 a wheel so not as cheap as most people think
-
This is what gets me about people buying tyres from places like Camskill Tyres - the prices are great until you remember that tyres really need to be mounted on wheels or they're useless.
Fair enough if you work in a tyre fitting place, or have mates who do - crazy if you don't.
-
£7 a corner for me.

I'm going to ring round a couple of places at lunch to see what i can get them done for.
Got the tyres at a good price though so its not all bad if it costs £10 a wheel. Just hope they do multiple discounts :laugh:
-
The place i get them done is about £10.50 a wheel, knock off a couple of quid if you get them all done though

Tru tings but a lot of the time Camskill is so shockingly cheap that even 10 quid a corner to fit makes them a steal.

lol, just got one quote £50+vat and thats for valves and balancing. Like you wouldnt want your tyres balanced!!

Not where I shop and it's not like I'm getting any discount over and above what everyone else gets!

BlackCircles.com and find a friend that works in the NHS :wink: :grin: £79 for 2 Toyo Proxes fitted in my town, ahhh the car feels so much better now, I can see why campaigners want the tread limit changed to 3mm, less than 3mm and the tyres feel :sick:
-
fiver a wheel local for a swapsie, 2 quid for a balance -
no need for new valves if the old ones are working is there?
also no need to balance the rears unless the tyres are shockingly made?
-
I've been quoted £5 per wheel to fit and balance, getting some done next week :smiley:
-

Ya think?
Camskill have a special offer on at the moment on T1-Rs - £32.45, oh plus £4 delivery for one, so £36.45 if I wanted one. Venture are £41 fitted.
If I want 2 it'll be £64.90, or from Venture £82, but that's fitted and balanced. From what people have posted early in this thread it's very easy to spend that £17 on getting a pair of tyres fitted, plus there's the inconvenience of dealing with the tyres when they show up at your work or home.
I'll be keeping the money in local businesses with prices as close as that.

I'm getting them done through a friend for £20 for all four. not bad
-
I know a fitter that lives local that will do it for a fiver a wheel :smug:

Hmm, interesting. Any idea how the friend went about ordering them with the NHS discount?

which is exactly what i aim to pay when i get mine on too. it's ok for some people that happen to have proxes in their size cheap at a local tyre place, but for me, the only way i can get proxes or any reasonably performance-orientated tyres is getting them from mytyres or camskill and paying a local fitter to slap them on. (not kwik fit or any franchised place as it will be more like 40 than 20)
-
£5 a wheel for me, not bad really. sometimes cheaper for a whole car if he's a happy chappy.

I dont find any internet tyre place cheaper than where i get my tyres. buy the time i bought and paid postage and fitting etc its usually about 10 quid more than if i went to the tyre centre and bought them direct from them.
