HI

hope this right forum?

popped at fron tyre on a new ferby vrs...... got quoted

Its because the spare is a 15" wheel and the std ones are 16"

Supposed to have the same sized wheel on the same axle really

Or so im told.

Christ on a bike, not only are the Primacy's crap, but they're pricey as well

Mytyres.co.uk list them at

I can second the recommendation for mytyres.co.uk

Local place here fits & balances mine for a fiver a corner, you should be able to get a similar price.

NEVER go to the "Fast-Fit" outfits, they'll charge an arm & 2 legs if they can get away with it.

Smaller places tend to be better.

Are Hi-Q not nationwide? Although they do franchise although so maybe those franchises to local companies are better. Also price depends whether you go to a garage in a poor area like ASDA does etc. I think you just have to be stong with them, and walk away if your not happy at the prices.
