What’s the going rate

Chippie wrote: Tue Jun 01, 2021 4:47 pm Would it not be easier to fit all season tyres to one set of wheels and then sell the other set plus part worn tyres from the first set, not sure of the sizes in all seasons but if they do them you’d be £30 a year better off and without the hassle.
When I bought the latest Z4 in Sept 16 I was able to get a cracking good deal on the winter wheels and tyres from BMW - It was too good to miss. The 335 is our only car during winter and MrsK uses it and as we live at the bottom of a nast climb out to the main road, she really needs all the help she can - so winters it has to be if not for the pshycological help.

As an update on the £15 charge, I asked at another tyre retailer and he said that he would charge £10 / corner to remove and refit!
Guess who's not getting my business?

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

£15 is a bargain as £50 to change 4 tyres so would expect £30 minimum :thumbsup:

He is only swapping wheels, no tyre removal.

I understand that Ron but its normally £12.50 to £15.00 to swap a single tyre so £15 for 4 wheels is a bargain

Im still reluctant to get rid of my kit in the garage tho. I suppose somebody will get a good deal when I turn my toes up. :rofl:

I found it very reassuring when I got offers of help - embarrassing having to but good to know its there :thumbsup:
Its not embarrasing Ron to seek help now and again, way I see it your health is at the top of the tree and to take the necessary measures or do anything to keep it that way :thumbsup:

Quite right. I think Nanu deserves some Forum brownie points too :flyboyaj:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Beer vouchers perhaps unless it's chocolate brownies that is. :rofl: :rofl:

To be honest, retired, time on my hands and a member nearby needing help. It would have been no big deal. But glad its sorted.

I asked and received help from Argyle Andy re updating Sat Nav so returning favours to fellow members again, no big deal.
