I'm gonna be in the market for a couple of tyres very soon. Now in recent years I've always bought tyres online with a fully fitted price. However I've noticed that buying tyres and having them delivered to your house is obviously cheaper. So how much does a garage typically charge to fit tyres and supply new valves and to carry out balancing?
How much does it cost to dispose of the old tyres?
Do garages get funny about fitting tyres you haven't bought through them or their partners?
Is there a decent saving to be made doing it this way?
Now without wanting to get in to a big debate about which tyres are best an example of what I'm looking at is:
255 35 r18 uniroyal rainsport 3 fully fitted price from one of my local dealers is £236 for 2 tyres.
The same two tyres from camskill are £185 including delivery.
So is it likely to cost me £51 to get two tyres fitted and balanced with new valves and also to dispose of the old ones?
