£50 for a 195/50/15 "sports" tyre, or £60 fitted.
How much do shops charge to fit a bicycle tyre, £10? That would make it £40 fitted for a 700c tyre.
The £10 on fitting a car tyre involves balancing and hydraulic machinery, the £10 for fitting a bicycle tyre takes about 10 minutes max? No mechanic I know is earning anywhere near £60/hour.
