OK, so how does this work? Camskill are an online tyre retailer right, so do you order them and take themm along to your own garage? do you have issues getting people to agree to fit them? how much is usually a good price for fitting and balancing?

just looking at the Vred's and there is a good deal on them at the mo - I need 4 new boots quickish

Get quotes for fitting only, some places want £15+ a tyre, others let one of the blokes do it for beer tokens. I know BlackCircles have a fitters network and they charge £6 a tyre I think so I'd say that's a reasonable price, doesn't take more than an hour

You'll probably find someone that'll do it for £20 in their pocket on a Saturday

I went down the Camskill route for my Vreds, and managed to get Kwik Fit to fit them for £10 a corner. They were very reluctant, but a friend who tracks his Evo has them change his tyres all the time for £5 a corner, so when I mentioned this they agreed to do it. All cash in hand though, as they're not supposed to do it, because they want to encourage people to buy their tyres from them.

Didn't know you could get the blackcircles fitters to do it. I had a look on their website and couldn't find anything about fitting tyres you'd bought elsewhere.

The mention of black circles fitters was just as a guide price, but I'm sure they any of those places would do it as alot of them are independents

I don't usually have a problem getting locals to fit tyres. I always buy from Camskill, and am usually a tenner a corner for fitting, or a tenner for 4 removals only.
