Right I am going to buy a set of tyres for my bike from Busters, and I also have my nice new (to me) OZ wheels.

What am I looking at paying for someone to fit these, or am I likely to get winged at because I didn't buy the tyres off them.

Also I am really paranoid about my spanking wheels getting butchered by a rough as arsehole tyre fitter:eek:
 
Normally £10.00 a wheel fitted to loose wheels , ring round most more than happy to fit to free issue tyres its still work isn't it .

I was quoted £15 + VAT per wheel but lucky for me a mate did them both for free at the weekend :)
 
I do my own, it isn't that hard. But 1st few times you will mark the wheel
 
plus some garages will charge you £2 per tyre to get rid of the old one so that puts loose tyre change up to £12 a wheel = £24 plus your own time.
usually just easier to barter with the tyre fitter/garage and get them to fit them for free after all its only 30 mins of 1 tyre tech's time
 
hey up mate. dunno if it helps but what size rear are you buying? I've just fitted a 190 only to find out my mate, a very very quick road rider/track racer has fitted a 180 to his Mille. He cringed when he saw I'd fitted a 190, stating the 180 is far superior and allows much quicker turn in and agility.

no problems doing your wets for you when you get them mate. That is if your nat bothered if I mark the rim.

But im not doing your oz's cos im bound to scratch em the anodising is way thin(have a look at mine)

I was going to get a set of those but managed to find a few more quid in the piggy bank and bought some BT016's for £169.

Had them fitted for £25 by these guys Click Me. The guys even filled them with nitrogen rather than air, apparently it offers a more stable pressure through the temperature range.

The main man said he can match the deal I got, that means he'll do a set of BT016's for just shy of £200 all in.

I was impressed as they never scratched my wheels, last time Watling Tyres mangled my rims.
