Tire change cost 🇦🇺

Rusty Bojangles said:

Hi all,
Went to get my tires changed for the first time over the weekend.

I supplied the tires front and back with carbon copy metzlers as one shop quoted me 1k just to source the rear tire.
Saved several hundred shopping about myself.

Just for labour, i was charged $400 (aud) at a triumph service centre. This service centre was the only one out of 6 other bike shops i called that would actually do the job.
I'm feeling royaly humped.
Is this standard for a heavy cruiser like the R3T or should i search farther and wider for a contingency workshop?

Cheers

Triumph stealers are always going to bend you over, no matter what.
The four hunge that you've spent could have bought you a bike lift and tyre changer. Invest in your own tools and save in the labour costs, whilst knocking skin off your knuckles and gaining piece of mind that the jobs been done right.
I paid au$1050 for front and rear Avon's, about six months ago, shipped direct from importer via a good online tyre guy in Melbourne with a Mexican name. One of the easier tyres I've swapped on bikes.
