What sort of money do people pay to get their tyres changed? I phones around for quotes. BMTR used to do mine and charged me beer money, but as I don't buy as many tyres from them as I used to (and they're a bit far away), I phoned a few local tyre places and had prices as high as £15 a wheel!

 

What's the accepted going rate?

Posted

I just paid £10 + theft per wheel fitted and balanced but not including disposal of the old tyre.

 

 

BTW please give generously to Bundle's Big Charity Walk for Asthma research here Ta.

 

Cheers

Recently had three tyres swapped over by a local mobile fitter. Independent guy with complete workshop in a van. Came to my home at 6.30pm to suit me, Total £25 all in, including valve, stick-on weight type alloy balancing and disposing of old tyres.

 

Believe local tyre fitting depot may charge as little as £5/tyre for fitting and balancing ? But not as convenient for me.

Alex, thats a balancing machine. A tyre fitting machine is altogether different. Nothing to stop you buying both Word of caution though - fitting to Barmby(if your'e using them) rims is difficult and they are easily damaged ☹️

Top tip, use mytyres website to find the local fitters that will allow you to turn up with your own tyres. Local to me as low as £5 a corner inc. disposal, valve, balancing (and through the books)

Depends how busy the lads are in most but if cash in pocket £5 a corner but never more than £10 via the books.

Hi Mike,

 

I was thinking of splitting it between all of the cars (and owners) that use Rogers garage - say £150 each - Could get us a fitting and an old balancing machine to share between us. I know Roger's thought of this before as well. I think fitting machines are not too expensive.

I paid £15.00 per tyre only last month. *cry* V expensive but IMHO worth every penny if the alloy wheels remain intact. I get the impression that suppliers don’t like fitting only and prefer to supply tyres as well hence they load the price.

We are looking for the same here also Alex. Its a bit more complicated as between the 3 of us we have to suppliers in our business' that are rally and change our tyres for free. But it doesn't feel right to abuse the service and I have so many sets that just need one good thrashing to finish them off but seem a waste to throw away.

 

Doing it yourself I would change them and go for an absolute hoon!

£10 a tyre, balanced, new valve etc, as long as I take them off the car first and deliver just the tyres. Uusal nervousness from the garage in that they will only fit new tyres.

In a major swap around onto a new set of wheels yesterday I paid £60 including VAT for four tyres off and eight tyres on (IYSWIM). This included four new short valves and balancing eight wheels. Total Tyres near South Holmwood, Surrey.

I had 4 new CR500s fitted a couple of weeks ago for £25 cash, including balancing and new valves, but took my old ones with me as there is a couple of mm left for track work one day.
