    You sell your works tyres? I'm assuming you keep the dosh, not hand it to your boss?

    Just give them away.

    Best trick getting tires is to rock in late in the day, have a chat to the guys and throw them a 6 pack, they'll then happily let you grab all the tires you need.

    I agree keep the piles tidy and they will let you come back. I will have to remember the 6 pack idea. The guys that i go too deserve it since they give me whatever i need in tyres.

    There is a few drifters that go to the same place that i do and luckily they have 16's and 17's. Most of the 15's i can get.

    Out of the blue i saw a set of 4 not so bad 13" tyres in the pile. First time i have seen 13's there.

    Fitting is $5/tyre. Thats ok. Some places try to charge $20/tyre. I nearly fell over when i was told that. I'm still yet to find a place near me that will take off and fit another for $5.

    I generally go to the small type tyre places, check out if it is busy or not, get some tyres fitted that I picked up from somewhere. They always ask what you want these old tyres on bling rims for??? So I give them a run down of the car and stuff and then drop the hint if they have any lying around could I grab them and say I will chuck one of there stickers on the car as free advertising.

    Only once have I been knocked back, and generally once you got a sticker on your car for them they will fit them for free too.
    I have a couple of places I have sown up so I dont bother the same place too much, and they are always happy to hear how your car is going, as long as it is not busy.

    As for fitting for 20 bucks, a while ago I went to a k-mart tyre and auto place coz it was close(and I was noob), when the guy said $26 per tyre I laughed at him and said good joke and said so thats 26 for the lot right? apparently not. So after a lot of stern conversation and threats of reporting them to fair trades he gave up and agreed to $26. last time I dont get a quote for something!!!
