    Its one of the cheapest I've seen around so just thought I'd share saving $20 on your jax ones fitted. Will keep to myself next time I guess.

    keep in mind their a bit stingee, takes 2x people there to stretch a 185/60 on a 14x8.5 and they charge you an extra $10 if they need to use a tube to get it on the bead which is rediculous he was trying to tell me my wheels are 10's and thats why it was so hard..
    so just make sure if your taking your wheels there that you explain that your not paying for a $10 tube.

    They are a bit like that but I prefer it. Majority of the time isn't all you want from a tyre shop to get you done and out of there? I don't enjoy sitting there reading 3 year old hot4 mags bored outta my brain wondering when my car is gonna be done.
    I've been taking my XR8 to get 18 inch tyres there since 2007 when most shops were $260 a tyre for nankangs. I just know what I wan't before I get there ring him up and tell him a time I'm coming in I get there he gets me done and in 20mins I'm gone. I go to beaurepairs and they try to upsell me and charge me money for tyre disposal. Then they sell me the same tyres for $50-$75 more and I wait 1-2 hours for them to do my car or have to leave the car there and return in the arvo.

    I wouldn't say $10 is stingee to stretch a 185/60 onto an 8.5" rim how much does bridgestone or beaurepairs charge to do it? I'd say stretching a 185/60 onto an 8.5" rim is being stingee.

    If you guys know of someone cheaper in Melbourne please let me know cause I'm yet to find anyone.
