Put it another way ,how much should you expect to pay for having tyres fitted to the bike ,balancing, disposing of old tyres etc (excluding cost of actual tyres )? I thought it used to be about £20 a tyre but not sure.

this all depends on where you go. you might be surprised at your local bike dealers prices. round my way the kawasaki shop is the best prices if you take in loose wheels. you have to book for on bike fitting which can be two weeks.
pay peanuts get monkeys. find a reputable fitter and stick with them. make sure that they use rim protectors, if they dont walk away and never go back. i had a brand new rim scraped coz they used a "no mark" bar without a rim protector to mount onto the machine head.
some of these mobile tyre fitters are good and they come to you, might be worth paying that little extra for the service.
