the garage i use would charge you around six quid for fitting. quid for valves and 1.50 for disposal of the old tyres

so 6x4 + 1x4 +1.5x4 = 34 quid

ballpark figure

best to find someone who knows a tyre person, or a tyre place that likes a 'cash' job. i would give £10-£20 as a drink, or if it was done through the books, i wouldn't want to pay more than £40.

I got charged £13 to put 4 brand new tyres on 4 brand new wheels. There was no old tyres to remove though and they didn't have to fir the wheels either.

Between £30 - £40 sounds about right to me.
