Was this winter tyre and spare wheel deal from Listers BMW, for my 116i M Sport, a good deal?

For readers considering winter tyres, I purchased a set of 16-inch alloys with Goodyear runflat winter tyres fitted from Listers BMW, Boston, Lincs, and because I had to wait three weeks for delivery from Germany, Listers collected my car and fitted the wheels for free. Storage of the spare set is also free. The set of wheels and tyres cost me £925 and it will cost £54 each changeover including rebalancing. Listers sensibly recommended a narrower wheel for winter driving. My 116i M Sport came on 17-inch wheels as standard. Do you think this was a good deal?

Well done and very sensible. And well looked after by the garage.
