I have never been charged more than NZ$25.00 by Kerry at Motohaus Tyres
for fitting and balancing.

$45.oo fark that i just go into any tyre shop and do it myself for $10.00 tops for both wheels, last time i had to change em on sunday, no one open but a place in henderson, forget name, but he looked busy so i asked if i could just do it myself, he said sure thing. Quite happy to pay $10 to do all the work myself considering i wasn't gonna get it done anywhere else.
Go see Kerry mate, 6 western springs rd. Motohaus

I'm the one that told him to put it there. Otherwise I would never go to his shop again and waste his time looking at bikes.

Which shop Folcan?? If you're in Pakuranga, go see Botany Honda. I think they charged $30 per tyre back in November ish.
Not only that (if you need to buy tyres), but they were also very helpful with tyre choice, and their prices were the best I could find.

I think I paid $70 at Motomart to do two wheels, removed from the bike myself. $45 probably okay I guess if you don't take the wheel off or replace it.
