Considering buying ABBA kit

and

Buying tyres onlie seems so cheap nowadays and if I fitted the tyres myself ll would be good. Anyone else do this and how easy is it?

Thanks

Ben

To be honest your looking at spending nearly £200 there on the gear and i can not see the point myself.For £15 to £20 my local tyre fitter will fit my front and rear tyres.Therefore £200 would get me around 10 sets of tyres fitted which is around 9 or 10 years worth for me.If your racing and using lots of tyres then it may be worth it but for me i would rather let someone else do it and know they were fitted and balanced properly.

Yeh that is a fair point. I use more tyres than you and the cost would be re-couped in 2 years plus I won't have to move tyres/wheels round in the car or have someone else damage my wheels.

I am still weighing up the pros and cons.

It may be worth doing it then.as long as you can balance the wheels ok on the machine i would possibly go for getting the machine in your situation.
