Kwik fit charge £8 per tyre to take off and put back on, I know this because my girlfriends spare is directional and the car had a slowwy on the wrong side.

Surely you're removing 8 but only refitting 4? Otherwise what would be the point in replacing them?

Go around lunchtime and you'll normally be able to slip one of the guys a tenner and they'll do it for you whilst they're on a break.

the reason i want the old ones refitting is because they are still got lots of tread left and it means i can sell the other set of alloys with tyres on then
