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???

£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?!)
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.

As soon as the temperature drops below 7c winter tyres will work well.

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!

Worth a punt on the bay I reckon - even if I get a tenner each, that's £20 off the fitting cost. I love the other two - they've gone blue there's so little rubber on them!

Best bet is go down one of the chain garages on a Saturday or Sunday morning when the boss isn't in and slip one of the lads £20 cash to do it for you, that's what I do.

Economic depression massive investments in capital that has depreciated leaving little to no security, panic and greed.

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.

Thats shocking! Local place from me charge £5 for a puncture repaire, £5 for tyre removal/replacent iirc inc valves, and erm, I think approx £5 for balancing!
