Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
This is probably a really daft question. I've e-mailed around for a set of new PR3's for my SV. I received an e-mail back saying "These are £301.83 fitted to the machine or £261.83 to loose wheel."
So does "loose wheel" mean I'm paying for the tyres without having them fitted? So I'd have to fit them myself? Thanks

Re: Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
No, loose wheel means just that - you take just the wheels in.

Re: Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
Loose wheels are unlike loose women.
Not very attractive but cheaper in the spare tyre department.

Re: Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
you could always just slacken the wheel nuts off a bit and ride in, demanding they give you the loose wheels price ... or maybe not!

Re: Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
Include your location in your sig. and someone will recommend a supplier/fitter in your area. Those prices sound way too high.

Re: Fitting tyres - the term "loose wheel"?
I'm from the Hull area. I've e-mailed about 5 tyre fitters that I found online but only one has replied so far.
