Tyres - Cost Price anyone?

[poonpatch]

I'm being offered 'cost price' tyres by a tyre fitter as I'm not 100% happy with the rubber I oringinally had fitted.

Question is...what is cost price for a 225/45R17 dunlop tyre? What do the tyre fitting companies pay for a tyre they sell to me at £110??

any ideas anyone?

You should try this website Blackcircle (Apologies if this breaks houserules.)

Usually the tyres are cheaper on there and you can get them put on by your usual local garage - gives you some idea of what the actual price of the tyres maybe. Saved my mum about £60 for 2 budget range tyres on her Pug.

I would have thought they'd be making 15-20% on tyres

Al, how are the Toyo's? I had them on my Saab and Audi before the Superb and rated them in the wet and dry
