porter_jamie Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 probably been done already, but how much does/can it cost to get a set of tyres fitted (loose rims or the ride in prices) t'internet has lots of places with cheapo mail order tyre deals these days.

millerich Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I pay £10 per loose wheel or free fitting with tyres bought from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 £5 a loose wheel including balancing (should be £10 a wheel) at my local honda dealer. It's all about be-friending the parts desk guy! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxr renegade Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I fit my own. Only cost me about £25 for the stuff to do it, and it's fairly hard work, but if it saves you £20 quid a time, that's £20 of fuel to put in the tank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurninman Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I fit mine, too Easy job, 10-15 mins per wheel taking it steady and only costs are beer consumption whilst doing it and balance weights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubbsy Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 We charge £5 a wheel at race meetings and trackdays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southwestbiker Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I do my own too, takes me longer to get the wheel out and in that changing and balancing the tyre. There's a bit in the "Workshop Tutorials" that showed me how to do it, its not that hard. Spent about 20quid on 3 tyre levers, and a little box of wheel weights, and that should do me for tyre changes forever. Do it, the sense of achievement is brilliant!

RussBlade Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 £5 a wheel, dont botther ballancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexp5 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 I use my local National Tyres branch. £15 a pair fitted and balanced to loose wheels, whether you buy the tyres off them, or supply your own. The guys are pretty good too, they point out any scratches / stone chips to you before hand (if there are any) and let you watch, as they've had damaged wheels in the past where folks have tried to say they've caused it by fitting the tyres. £15... not worth the ball ache of doing it yourself IMO.
