I know right?!?! I was thinking along the lines of it's a "family/local" small business, so surely he'd be appreciative of the work rather than losing business to a large/chain/brand company, yet is asking £9.50 tyre fitting + £4 valve + £9.50 balancing PER WHEEL!?!? Madness!

National Tyres said they'd do it for me for £15 a wheel, everything inc, and a local used tyre place also said £15 a wheel, everything inc, then my mums local mechanic also said the same, but since my family has been going to him for years, he said if I could wait till during the week he'd do £50 all in.

Just hope the tyres are fine and hold pressure. Tread wise they look fine, but I won't know till I get them on and up to pressure, then run them for a bit I guess. Always a little skeptical with used tyres, but I just don't have the funds for new ones, at least not decent new ones. My original budget of £300 for rims and tyres has already been blown (£379 inc next weeks fitting cost, so far - then next year I wanna get the rims refurbed too )
