Just for clarification, make sure the words “mount the tyre” are in the same context. The tyre shop is simply talking about taking the wheel and tyre that you have already removed from the Spyder, changing the tyre, balancing it, and giving it back to you to remount on the Spyder. The dealer is talking about removing your real wheel, changing the tyre, balancing it, and remounting it on the Spyder with belt alignment, correct tension etc.
Your dealer is still full of ***** with his comments on the ECM, but that may explain the difference in labour costs. Yes, wheel removal is “relatively” easy at home with the right tools, but if I could find a dealer who was prepared to mount a car tyre, I would certainly pay the extra to have them do it in case something went wrong later.....but that is purely a personal thing.
