i ment for cheap tyres. a lot of 'fitting' garages bang extra money on the tyres just for ordering them. I got 4x Goodyears fitted for £40 at a local garage

Too many fakes on the internet though, i'd always buy em from a place where i can see tyres being delivered by big dunlop trucks rather than a wide boy in a 1990's tranit!!!!!!

Don't they make you sign a Disclaimer incase they do, i'm sure there are places that do. If they are any good they won't scratch your wheels. There is NO need to scratch wheels if time and care is taken.
