There is often a large difference in price for car tyres (incl
fitting) when buying/booking on line, phoning up and just turning up.
Also in the latter two cases you have to establish at the outset you
want the price for fitting including valves and balancing and it
includes VAT or you may find additional charges when it comes to pay.


Balancing isn't essential for rear wheels. Don't they charge to dispose
of the old tyre?


I tell the tyre fitting place to put the old tyres in the back of my car.

Some colleagues have boats and always want tyres for their mooring...

So usually save the tyre "disposal" fees.
