Mr Rizla Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Given the cold weather predicted I decided time was right to swap over to my winter tyres, having never done this before I have phoned around local to me being quoted on average 20 quid a tyre, and that's if they will do the job, 1 turned me down as not new tyres.So I thought for a laf id phone Kwik-fit expecting a silly price to be quoted and was told about 54 quid all in, and open all day..will let you know if the price goes up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing a trick here? What spec tyres are these? Brand? Was reading Honest John in the papers and he was saying Mini offering their customers £350 for set of winter tyres was cheap?!!! Plus £35-£50 annual storage was a bargain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinogi Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 How much? To swap a tyre? I order my new tyres online and have them fitted for £5 a wheel. Got talking with the guys there and they now beat the online price for my Avon ZZ3's so I order everything from there now. Honestly, some places over charge big time :xmas_sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
