how much for a new set of Tourance
 

my local tyre fitter just quoted me �220 for a pair of OE Tourances to fit loose wheels on the 660z.
Ive just been on blackcircles and they can do the same tyres for �133 delivered.
another guy will fit & balance them for �10 each.
Am I missing something or is some one trying to rip me off ?

Someone's trying to rip you off.

Let's have their name and we'll all avoid them.

Easy enough to fit in your garage with the right tyre levers.

So does the black circles price look reasonable?

Been a while since I bought any tyres, but from memory I think ~�80 for a rear and ~�50 for a front sounds about right - they're hardly hi tech sports tyres.. so yes in my opinion.

Cheers for the reply
 

Thanks for that. im not desperate for tyres yet but will buy some and stick them in the garage.
Yeah local dealer whom have purchased from over 20 years has really started to take the p@ss.

Hes getttin the f..kin arm in ,�130 sounds about right .I can get a guy to come to the house remove the wheels ,fit and balance and stick the wheels back in for �130 :smilies0346:

At Openeo �123 the pair including free delivery...

Rear �69 - http://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre-de...-rear-tt-m-c-g

Front �54 - http://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre-de...-54-s-front-tt

:wtfk: �220! I think your tyre people are extracting the urine!

Fit and balance for �10 a wheel is pretty good (although it is free if you DIY ;) )

�130/5 seems to be the ballpark figure for most tyres for the Tenere loose. My local place is �10 to fit and balance per wheel. I normally take the rear to him and do the front myself. Done the rears in the past and just can't be arsed anymore.

tyred
 

cheers for the replys.
ive phoned a few places today and the prices vary wildly.
I also looked at the Dunlop Trailmax and got prices ranging from �145 to nearly �200!
A certain dealer who is advertised as the cheapest in the UK was a bus ride off a competitive price and was told so, but wouldnt do a better deal!
If I can get the tourances for �123 I will have a set.
many thanks chaps.

Tired
 

I ended up getting a pair of dunlop trailmax from oponeo ( thanks for the link.)
�152 delivered and �22 to get fitted at Camskill ( who were actually cheaper than oponeo !)
I was weary of reports of fake tyres coming from poland etc. but i think the tyres are fine.
Will see how we get on with the dunlops over winter.
