Tyre fitting

[essjay]

Any info on who will do tyre fitting and balancing on an 1100GS in the Dublin area?

A set of 110/80R19H, 150/70R17H Anakee 2's is only £169 off Crossans (thevisorshop.com) with free shipping.

They charge £15 a wheel to fit and it's not really worth the spin up and back to get them fitted (80 miles each way).

Cheers....

Run that by me again.....

€30 per wheel if I drop the bike down to you with the tyres, €25 for what?

Cheers.....

Ah right.....

So give me a price then for a set of Anakees fitted.....

Set of Michelin Anakee 2's fitted, balanced and old tyres disposed - €265

its worth a run up to crossans

€15....

Is it worth the hassle?

£169 = €190 plus €60 fitting = €250

€265 supplied & fitted....

Support your local...etc.

Now, one thing thats not clear is, does the fitting charge apply for ride in/ride out.........or only if loose wheels are required to be brought in?

If the former, then surely its a good deal. Buying in Crossans you'll probably still have to remove/refit your own wheels......so its gotta be worth the €15 to stay local...?

Fitting is €33 in Crossans (ride in and ride out) or €5 each for loose rims..

€223 vs €265

 

[vireo]

...plus €20 of Mr. Esso's finest.....

I had a set fitted to a VFR in Crossans a few years back - fitting was free if you bought in the wheels back then....

 

[TheMcQuaid]

price is for you to ride in and ride out, i will remove the wheels, and if you didnt want to wait, change your insurance over and take my F800S for a spin FOC

That's a very good price from Platinum. I got a set of Annakee from Cotter's in Ballymount, (who are supposed to be the cheapest around) for 256 euros recently. But i had to wait for about an hour of messing around to get them fitted.

If you get the tyres from Crossans, I have a guy near Celbridge who I work with, will fit them for about €30 for the pair.
Works from the garage at his house in the evenings so suits alot of people who work during the day.
