Lexuspat That's an aweful price why do they do it to themselves
Because some people have no idea what things should cost and they clearly get enough business at that price point.
Toyota MK swapped 4 tyres on my Prius for £10 a wheel - a couple of years ago so maybe £15 now???

Oh well, I can live with £50 all in, and hopefully I'll manage to sell the two just about legal (not even sure if they are legal) Conti's for £20/£30 quid, if I'm lucky - then I've just gotta decide when to actually swap the wheels over. Might wait till beginning of Dec.
£15 seems to be the average nowadays, sure last time I had tyres fitted/swapped it was a tenner a wheel, inc valving and balancing (I mean, who wouldn't change a valve or have wheels balanced after fitting tyres?!)

Probably do for skid rubber. They had done about 200 miles since I got them from the part worn dealer, so I hope they are still legal haha!

Jon My mates dad owns a Garage in Wigan, so I get my tyres fitted cheap.
MOT's are normally sorted at a good price to, as well as using the ramps and tools etc for a small fee when I need.
Does he now! I'm not far away so would use him for some new rubber if I could get a deal lol
