I know this is old, but I thought I’d answer! I’m being charged £182 per wheel to have them fitted. The old ones get left in the boot for me to sell on. I might have been able to save £30-40 doing it myself, but if there are any driveline vibrations I didn’t want to get stuck in the middle of the dealer blaming the tyre fitter and vice versa.

In March when I was trading in my 110 the local Kwikfit branch charged me £80 total to remove 5 x 20” Duratracs and put the OEM Pirelli All Season tyres back onto my rims and re-balance them.
My new 90 has the Off-road Pack GY Adventurer tyres and for the time being the Duratracs are sitting in my garage and might stay there if the Adventurers prove to be good off-road, they are also quite quiet on road just like I found the Duratracs to be. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

I found in the UK (going back a few years) quite a few shops would not fit tires they did not sell themselves 'because of insurance reasons" yeah sure.
Certainly I wound not think the LR garage to be the most competitive for these services. |

Wasn't there an issue with the LR supplied Duratracs, as in they weren't the same as bought independently.
They didn't have the same sidewall strength if i remember correctly. Happy to be corrected |

Yes, it is the tyres that are stamped with the LR logo as approved by the company- they are also Q speed rated - up to 99mph. My set bought in 2020 from KwikFit are all LR marked and Q speed rating - when I asked my insurer above changing to Duratracs they said it wasn’t a problem, no increased premium but they must be approved by Land Rover as suitable for the vehicle. I haven’t looked at the Adventurers fitted as OEM tyres on my new 90 that were part of the Off-road Pack Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
