£115 for a Metzeler K1 front & £154 K2 rear seemed pretty decent.
Am hoping this ain't a scam. Will report back when they arrive. Anyone else used this lot?

Rear only fitted loose, not front. +2.5% card fee. Still expensive bud, even without fitting

I'm my own worst enemy when it comes to forums........ as I like to put things into perspective for the small business but it often gets my moaned at.
 
as you know, we are a race vendor with Metzeler and there price is £3 above cost price..... I just don't know how they make it work other then being a loss leader or something like that.
 
just out of curiosity how much did you pay for the tyres? separately?
 
The transaction fee is fair if it was a credit card.... we now pass on CC charges as with margins so low we cannot absorb the fees we get charged but as growing business we have gotten out card fees a tad lower but a new or newish business will still have to pay high fees.
 
compared to Oponeo the prices are high.... but my prices are higher than theres but if we charged a margin of £3 on a front tyre we wouldn't be in business. Then again, they look like they have the potential to sell hundreds of tyres a day car, commercial and bike and can work on the QTY based margins. They make what the need to by selling large numbers.... great for them, poor for the small business  - especially those who make the effort to attend trackdays etc as without them there would be no support on the days as we would have been driven out of business in tyre price wars.
 
Cheap can be good in the short term but it can hurt in the long term........
 
Anyhow.... that me climbing down.
 
Just to note - this is not a 'dig' at you N8, just a general pass of comment on the prices etc.

I did exeactly the same but only needed the rear, £180 fitted to loose wheel with card fee.

I needed the tyre and the guy was a decent chap so didn't have a problem, only that I should have brought the tyre in the garage with me haha
