How much to fit tyres - SV650.org

Winder · 01-08-11, 12:31 PM

I have a set of wheels with tyres on and also the new set I want to put on my wheels. How much is a fair price to swap the tyres over and does anyone know where to go near Woking/Guildford?

A mate of mine paid £30 to swap a rear but that seems far too expensive for my liking.

Seems to range from about a tenner if you remove the wheel and take it in yourself to around £35 ride in ride out. I recently got my rear changed at my local garage and they charged £22 to do it.

what you have to bear in mind is like all things the tyre place needs to make a profit, they generally make a small margin on the tyres and fitting is at cost, so if they supply the tyre everyone is happy, if you bring in your own then they will have to charge more as they make no money otherwise.

Cheers Mark.

It will be loose wheels not ride in ride out. Anyone in recommend someone near me? Tenner sounds like a fair price

£20 for fitting both front and rear to loose wheels, including removing old ones, at Hook Merityre.

Loose wheels is from about £15 set
Ride in is from around £22, and as Marks set there is little profit in the tyres

We charge £10 per loose wheel inc balancing.

Every dealer round here charges £20 + per wheel. A smaller company here charges only £10.
