Has anyone here had a set of 4 tyres swapped from one set of wheels to another? If so, how much did it cost you (including balancing)?

I've just got a beautiful set of Rays rims and want to transfer my nearly-new Avon ZZ3's on to them.

Cheers guys. I'll be happy if I can get them done for a tenner a corner as I'd budgeted for a fair bit more than that.

And just for the sake of not having a thread without pics. Heres a snap of my new rims, all refurbed and ready to roll biggrin

Got 4 tyres swapped over and balance and it was £9 each. It was the third place I tried though with the first two saying they didn't fit anyone else's.
Drives me crazy when they say that.

My main concern is that they might damage the wheels. I know some places have right monkeys doing the tyre fitting and I'd go cptn caveman on them if they buggered them up.

Dont suppose anyone over Essex way has any recommendations?
