South West Bikers | Motorcycle Forum

Been doing the rounds of customers workshops and other tyre fitting companys for quotes on fitting my new rubber from E-Bay onto my trackbike wheels.

Now i understand they don't like you buying and bringing in your own tyres really if the truth is to be said but i was shocked at the prices.

Heres a couple

1) Pro-tyre £20 to a loose wheel

2) Speed an hours labour for both £47

Won't go naming and shaming too many and i would still save money doing it this way but heres a surpirise

I took a trip to Bridge Garage just for a laugh really and see what they would charge

£10 a wheel

The most expensive place in the southwest was half the price of the others

Big up to Bridge me says

Ace motorcycles in Bude will also charge £10 to fit your tyre you take to them onto a loose wheel.

Gupa P was the cheapest place for me to buy and have an 021 fitted!

most dealers wont fit tyres to loose wheels mate as the profit in them is poor so they have to make it up on labour or its not worth selling them,remember a tyre machine is over 3k but bridge probably got theirs free on some kind of deal with silkolene or castrol

did you price up peak performance or SP?

not that it matters like deej says at that price its barely worth them bothering

Sp was next on the list after Bridge but for a tenner a wheel i doubt they will be cheaper.

Peak, I highly recommend Steves work but didn't ask him and that i will share face to face rather then on the site why.

i thought you got on with steve ?

Easyfit in wsm will quite happily fit tyres for £10
