I usually pay around $25 per tyre to strip and fit. Another $10 per tyre for disposal.
Yes I paid $35 with disposal for each tyres but what surprised me is one company that had a Woman answer the phone told me because you have alloy wheels we wont do this. I had to ring later after 3.30pm as my tyres were fitted by then on the Monro I rang as I wanted continental tyre on my Caprice V and the same woman was on the Phone and she said can you please ring back in 15 minutes as I have to get a price on this tyre and we will fit them and balance them for FREE but I replied to her,,,,,, HAND on this morning I rang you and you said to me that you dont take tyres of a alloy wheel because they can be damage but now you say you can fit them because I purchase the tyres from you. She hang up to me BITCH!!!

You can still get them balanced...Ask for stick on weights on the inside of the rim. Make sure you are there if a young one is doing the job to make sure they do use stick on weights on the inside....

These days, it is unusual to have a tubed tyre...Tubeless is the norm....
Any how the tyres look good. I put the letting on the inside because it was overwheming. By the way the old rears on the inside had at least 50 splits 50mm long on eack going the same way when the car is accelating (torque twist) Hummm.

There are a few options available. Bfg, Nankang and maybe the BS Eagers in limited sizes. Yell out if you need any help. Done tyres for a little while.

Have you tried Viagra? Mind you, I tried it once. I didn’t swallow it quick enough and ended up with a stiff neck!:)

Yes I did, The Doctor said not to excite me to much, he was worried about (not another Heart attack) worried about having another stroke (WAY TO DIE. WOW) Ejaculate them Die. I was surprises what he said as men Die having a WANK because of having a stroke. Lots of time have sex including your hand you can have a TIA ( A transient ischemic) I had 3 full blown Strokes and 7 TIA's and in one TIA I was trying to have sex using Viagra. Yes Be careful all you older guys I woke up in the ambulance and with a pretty (nurse) lady next to me, The Wife was in the Front seat and tried HARDDDDDD not to tell them what cause me to have another TIA. I told me male Doctor, He said "your not the only one something like this"

For me most of the time a TIA is like you computer re booting itself and you have lost data in between "where am I"
