Is £67 a good price for a New Tyre fitted?

[ibiza75]

Hi,

Apparently one of my rear tyres has an "unrepairable" puncture and needs to be replaced, which is annoying considering it has plenty of tread.

I have been quoted around £67 for a new one fitting, would you say this is a good price?

Cheers.

i got a pair of 205/40/17 nankang delivered for 72

I ended up paying 90 quid-ish per corner for my 205/45/16 which were branded. It was an expensive day.

 

[bodysnatcher]

So, if you've got a 1.4 s 16V
with
185/60 H14s
£33 -£60 (+ a tenner for fitting & disposal)

I'd say £67 is not a good price

L5LFD - a bad day is when some wee ******* nails 2 of those newish tyres

Agreed...seems a bit expensive for an average tyre! If its on a big wheels and branded its a different story

 

[bodysnatcher]

OK, it seems y're not on standard fit (195/55s) for a sport, £67 for a 205/45 seems good (maybe too good )

PS I could get a Wanli for £45 fitted http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/ts/search/SizeSearch.aspx )

thats a 205/40/W17

WTF is a WANLI?

 

[Adam8747]

an increadbly cheap tyre i guess

 

[danmay]

i had a yoko 205/35/17 fitted for £75, so no!

 

[silversport]

[hon_n_gem]

Same... Bridgestone turanzas?

Although ive done 10k miles, and im still on 5.5mm tread out of the original 7. So have a decentish life on them.

the joys of working in the Motortrade, cost price and a few cans of beer to the workshop guy

I put 2 bridgestone turanzas on my 06 sport, for trade cost and my dad fitted n balanced for me. bout a week later i drove over a steel rod knackering one. the rod was touching the alloy on the inside.

currently desperately in need of 2 for my FR. front ones have rapidly become bald whats the standard make and model for 2004 FR anyone know? mine has a variety of brands on it due to previous owner being a plank.

off top of my head I think theyre 205/45/16 the ones that are on.

anyone recommend a long lasting tyre for my heavy driving style?

cheers

 

[ibiza75]

Sorted for £60.
Tyre brand is Nexen, don't know whether thats good or bad.

 

[Ultra_Joel88]

nexen isnt the best I'm afraid

Kuhmo KU31 are £50 each delivered on camskill

bargain imo

I recently got 2 KU31's for £106 delivered from taunton tyres for my sport (205/45/16's).

Fitting was another £123, and I was pleased with £130 for 2 new fronts fitted. Especially as they are really grippy in wet & dry.
