Just had a bill from our local tyre place, new tyre for our topper, which is what we expected but then a charge of £60 for disposal of the old tyre and the same amount for the old tube ! Now before I go in and make a fool of myself.......does anyone think they have made a mistake? The new tyre for the topper was just £90 !

My local tyre dealer let me dispose of tyres collected over the years and only charged me £2 tyre, admittedly mainly car tyres , and I took them to him, but yours sounds excessive to say the least

Seems to have shot up lately. £50 for 13,4r38 here. Try to do the right thing and you’ll be stung big time every time with all sorts of waste. Burn it in the open creating black smoke you can see for miles around and nobody bothers.

Had some new tyres on my trailer recently and tyre guy said disposal was easy at the moment because India actually want the tyres to burn them.

As ever bought fertiliser at 3x normal price due to sanctions on Russia las year. Now paying Indians to take away tyres that they use as fuel. And we are supposed to compete on global markets. FFS. What a joke.

Local tyre firm to me charged me £20 to dispose of an 18" 3cx front tyre just the other day. £60 for the tyre and another £60 for the tube is daylight robbery. They are lifting your leg something rotten.
Bl""dy `ell your topper must have a darned big wheel...
I think if you were to print off some of these replies you could certainly tackle them with NO fear of making a fool of yourself !! MUST BE A MISTAKE!!

I paid £60 to get rid of a combine front tyre last harvest; it was an 800 from memory

Could do to find a firm to get rid of some tyres as we have a collection building

Get old fudging tyres gone. They are nothing but an eyesore and a liability. Better burned up in an Indian powerstation than left on farm, it'll only cost you more money in future.

Tyre disposal here for 4 x 4 type sizes is usually around $15 each
however, the other day I bought 5 brand new secondhand 225/95r 16 tyres ( $80 each instead of over $300 each
) & had them fitted on rims with old tyres.
I normally take old tyres home with me, but 2 of these had blown out & I didn’t want to take any, was quite happy to pay to get rid of them
dunno if they made a mistake or not, but no disposal charge for old tyres or tubes / rust bands
no charge for fitting or balancing either
