Re: relative cost/usage between bicycle tires and automobile tires

<cut> > Carl: In all seriousness, I don't even know how they can ship something as > heavy and bulky as a car tire for what they charge for cheap ones. It's a > total mystery to me. <cut> Maybe I have a partial answer: I recently bought 2 tyres for my bike - Hutchinson Acrobat MTB. 2x £13.99 = £27.98 I also bought 2 tyres for my Ford Fiesta, this time 2 x £14.01 = £56.10 !!! With fitting, valves, wheel balancing, carcass disposal fee and even £1.05 for filling with nitrogen (I didn't ask for that surely?) the cost of the tyres is only a hook to get me to pay for the services of the garage, maybe next time the tyres will be free and all I'll have to pay for is fitting..... Perhaps if folk just took away and fitted their car tyres the prices might rise somewhat - just a thought. Andrew Webster |
