Thanks for that information. I do believe that remoulds are illegal on the steering wheels (Front wheels) of busses.

I would expect the price to include fitting and balancing. I can't think of a dealer where fitting and balancing was an extra charge.

Re: New tyres

Michelin who supply remoulds under the Michelin Remix banner recommend that they are not fitted to steering axles but it is not illegal.
