Just got told on the phone by a Loughborough tyre outfit, that I would be looking at £20/corner to fit my 245/40/17s. Then he added (after I started lauging) that all balancing and valves were included... I SHOULD HOPE SO!
Was I right to tell him where to go (politely ofcourse), or is that the going rate for low profile tyres?

I think a lot of tyre places are getting wise to the fact that people are buying cheap tyres off the net and getting them to fit them. I was quoted £16.95+VAT the other day, only £9 if they supplied tyres! Also told that they cannot use lead weights any more, they have to use Zinc instead, which is more expensive. I checked and the cost of Zinc has gone through the roof recently, so that bit is true.
I ended up paying £50 to fit 4 18" tyres and get the tracking done, cash on a Friday afternoon.
