There is often a large difference in price for car tyres (incl fitting)

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.#

I thought that the disposal fee was charged "on initial sale" (so you are
pre-paying for it, and thus can't avoid paying it)

specifically to stop people saying, "don't bother to dispose of it, my mate
has a good use for it" - and then dumping it in a hedge.
