Tyre fitting in Sydney

I'm up for new tyres soon, and looking at Tirerack.com. Has anyone found someone that's happy to fit, balance and do the alignments, without wanting limbs and organs as payment.

I've asked a few places, and by the time you add all that, the savings are reduced to a point where it's not really worth the time, hassle & risk.

Any suggestions?

What area are you in?

I know Tempe charge 10-20 a rim and I haven't had any issues ever.

Don't use their alignment though... go for a proper one for ~$100

Jaxx Mona Vale - $60 alignment and the owners have a 125i Coupe. They love servicing them and put them to Manu spec, not "0"

Thanks for that.

I'm north side - but happy to travel for the right result.

Is the 10-20 for fitting only, or fitting and balancing, with proper stick on weights?

Thats including balancing with the stick on weights.

Tyreplus in Chatswood was recommended to me by a sponsor of this board, perhaps call them up as well and see if they'll fit and balance for ~$80 for four.

I got Tyreplus to fit some tyres for me today, they were good. Bit more expensive than Tempe (Chatswood was more convenient for me timewise) - I think it was $30 / tyre including disposal of my old tyres.
