How I chuckled when I read this ..................................try buying a Triumph. I would have danced over broken glass to get the OPs tyres at that price. There is nowhere within reasonable distance of me that will do wheel on changes for under £50. I take the opportunity to clean and grease, blah blah blah and do wheels off changes with an independent guy in Bromley.
Trousers pulled down.

Normal for south east. I have never paid less than £300 at bmw for a service in one or another bike as far back as 2004.
Not sure about the tyres though, i always change mine at specialists (FWR in Kennington)- apols plug but those guys are excellent- 350 is a bit steep but its also a latest tyre, v much in vogue…

All way's buy my own tyre's & take in my wheels, local bike shop only charges £12. fitted & ballanced & I dispose of my old tyre's, that's what I call a bargain.

Does no one fit there own tyres and service there own bike on here roll your sleeves up and get on with it Ok breaking the bead can be a pain I use my hydraulic press then set to it with the levers cost nothing and give's you a bit of a work out which is a win win
£300 for tyres plus 1 hr to fit. mate just paid that on his triumph.
how to you get the tyres to "pop on" due you have a compressor or visit the local garage and use an airline? i cannot see using a domestic tyre inflator or foot/hand pump works
I service my own bikes and do my own tyres. I have a Rabaconda and a compressor.
All my bike wheels are spoked, so the old style Rabaconda works fine on them.
