£10 to change and balance a tyre  :shock: :shock: :shock:

fking hell, I bet I could change them all before you've even got your car to kwikfit ramp.

The reason you couldn't get the tyre off the rim is because you didn't have the bead in the dip when you tried to take it off, so you were trying to strech the (steel re-enforced) bead around the rim.


Yeah bb shot, as in the plastic stuff. It's about £5 for a kilo, you'll need about 1 1/2 kilo's to balance a 33 - 35 inch tyre.  Kitchen scales are more than accurate enough for weighing it out ;)
