New tyre

Had a slow puncture on the car so took it to Kwik Fit for a new tyre...........£87.25!!!!!! My god, hasn't the cost of tyres gone up? Admittedly it's not a budget tyre, it's a mid-range one, but still!

kwik fit take your eyes out but you can haggle with them

The thing is, I trust them to give good advice & tell it as it is. At least if they say it needs a new tyre, then it does!

I just didn't realise how much they'd gone up!

A don't belive you !! stay away from places like that scrapies and small tyre places might look crap but 90% of the time it will cost no more than £40 for a brand new tyre probs cause its been stole but still you got a new tyre?

my work sell new tyres for depending on the size tho new part worn and never have a saw 1 tyre come to £80 mibi alloys and tyres for £100 ? feel for you buddy

The price included balancing etc & disposal of old tyre (?!)

balancing costs a £5r if your lucky it involves putting on a little weight on the wheel if needed, and it costs 70p to dispose a tyre we also do tyre disposal

What car have you got Caryll?

It's only an old Honda Civic, but it's a nice little run around with very low mileage for its age 10 years old & only 50,000). When we've finished the HP on it (next summer) we're gonna look round for a slightly bigger one so we can put Dempsey in the back, not on the back seat where he's an absolute pain!
