    Post New tyres

    Just wanted peoples opinion,if I bought tyres for my car and then took them to a tyre fitting place to get them fitted and balanced do you think they would fit them even though I didnt buy the tyres from them?

    see if there's any performance or suspension shops around, most shops that arn't chains wouldn't have a problem doing it.

    Most tyre places charge $20 to fit a tyre - so a set of 4 may cost $80. They will all do it including Bob Jane. It's easy money for them.
