Does anyone know what the cost is to fit a tyre to a loose wheel?
A rough guide - as I don't want to be ripped off.
£20??

I used H&B Tyres 2 weeks ago they charged me £10 per wheel with a valve and balancing.

Thanks Nicky - Now I know the ball park figure I won't get ripped off.

Had to do a bit of phoning around and they were the best price, did a good job and were very helpful and friendly too. I was quoted up to about £60 :o

Lots of places wouldn't fit a tyre which they didn't supply.

I had a tyre fitted by Carsons in Melksham just under a year ago I think they charged £15. I took the wheel in and the chap asked "is this off a Pan European?" I said yes, that's very observant of you and he said "not really it's too ~@*$ heavy to be anything else!"

Last time I had to pay £25 ....even though I originally bought tyre from them. Very steep if you ask me
