Getting my mum's local mechanic to do it all for £50, but still! Not as cheap as it was! I'd have expected to pay about a tenner a wheel!

Damn son!! Does he used diamond encrusted weights and pure nitrogen?? the nerve of some people

The going rate round by me is £15 per corner, have found a bloke who can do them for £12.50 but that's the cheapest thus far.

But glad you've managed to find some tyres, (just got a pair of ice touring st's) you've love them as soon as the snow hits, just don't be overzealous with them
