If I lets say get tyres online or at another cheaper place, where can I get them fitted and usually how much does it cost? Thanks in advance
Additional question:
How much does a tyre rotation generally cost?
I'm in Townsville, QLD btw
Fitting tyres purchased elsewhere

Don’t forget that this may not include the tyre disposal fee. My local tyre guy makes you take your old tyres with you if you buy them online and get them fitted at his workshop.
But the prices seem to be about right from my recent experience.
tyroola is the reason I asked this question because they have good prices but their cheapest fitting partner nearby costs $148 for 4 tyres which is too much as I could even get a tyre for $47 there
Look at Tempe Tyres. Probably cheaper and includes fitting. If you can’t get to them just do a price match with tyresales or one of the other mobs that match.
They are only in NSW
but what I can do is request a price match from Bob Jane for these

@sub102: I got tyresales to match the price. Im in regional NSW 200km from the nearest tempe tyres. It was exact same price shipped out here to tyresales local fitment centre. Its worth just speaking with tyresales and seeing what they say?
@chillybags: Do tyresales not consider the shipping that Tempe charges? And there's also a Tyresales shipping fee for regional areas right
@sub102: Not sure but they didnt charge me for it. Got a quote for $136 per tyre from tempe tyres. Tyresales was $136 delivered regional and installed.
@chillybags: How much of a difference did they match?
I'm going to try price matching these 2,

https://www.tyresales.com.au/buy/tyre/pirelli/cinturato%20p1…Hopefully I'll get it for $125 everything included
Ring a few locals and ask?
Yeah will have to
About 5-10 years ago, I could find a number of workshops happy to fit/rotate/balance them for $15 each, if I was getting 4 fitted (also including disposal). Now even finding finding fit/rotate/balance and disposal for $20 each is getting quite difficult. If you buy them from tyre sales, it's best to get them to arrange delivery/fitting to one of their partners as they only charge $15 per tyre.
Actually fitting/balancing is included in Tyre sales but unfortunately their prices aren't great plus there's a delivery fee to here
Call mycar (new name of ktas), and see if they'll match it as well.
Any tyre service will fit them for you.
Depending on how friendly the tyre service is you can expect to pay $20 - $30 a tyre to have tyres you supply fitted to your rims. More if they have to strip your rims first.
This will include balancing. YMMV
Tyre rotation will cost about $50, again YMMV.
If you are lucky enough to have a friend in the business it will cost you a slab.
