Tyre fitting?

[AudiSport]

I'm looking at buying a set of either of the below tyres to go on my 2.0T Quattro A4, however how much is fitting likely to cost at my local tyre fitter? Surely if they want to charge me £15 or so a corner I may has well just buy them on the high street?

It depends on the fitter, my local charges £8 + VAT per tyre (fit, balance, disposal of old tyres) One of the other local places isn't interested unless they are supplying the tyres.

Probably a tenner each.

Local 1 man band charges me £10 per corner.

Some people get p*ssy about fitting tyres they haven't supplied, guess they make a mark up, have a ring arond.

I got screwed by Kwik fit this week. I took in a puncture, managed to drive over a screw which went in right by the wall. Which of course they're not able to fix. But the tw*t pulled it out, so I had no choice but to replace there and then. They couldn't match the tyres I had, so I ended up getting some never heard of brand for £80, cold have had a much better tyre for that money, wasn't best pleased.

I tend to prefer the smaller independents, especially if they're performance orientated.

Try www.mytyres.co.uk there's with or without fitting option. I got a good deal there

My local guy is a tenner a tyre, but he puts it through the books. Some people I deal with get guys at quite-larger garages to do 4 wheels for a tenner cash!
