depends on how friendly you are with a tyre place but about £20 should be fine

I go through a lot of tyres on my company car(3 so far this year), my local kwik fit charge £3.50 a wheel and they dig the arm in.

im going for the stick on the inner part of the wheel one. On the outside it looks gash.
I'l try going to various tyre places tomorrow and finding the cheapest price.
