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.

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

�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 )
