Anyone know anywhere decent to buy tyres around Dublin(or sligo as I
down visiting family enough) for tyres? Im willing to go into the
North Newry area if needed, Got a quote from the place on Blakes
cross in Lusk but seems a tad pricey although they were quality brands Also forgot to add, whats the legal minimum tread level in Ireland? -------------

What sizes are you looking for, for bigger sizes 18's and 19's i found that Mail order was by far the cheapest...... I used http://www.falkens.co.uk/asp/default.asp - http://www.falkens.co.uk/asp/default.asp but also have a look at http://www.blackcircles.com/ - http://www.blackcircles.com/ and http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ - http://www.mytyres.co.uk/ they all do delivery and th prices for me anyway were about £40 a tyre cheaper then anywhere in N.Ireland. Cheers Phil -------------

Will they deliver to the south? Where in the North are you Phil? Also do any places do just fitting or will they try to rip you off since you didnt buy the tyres from them? -------------

mytyres.co.uk is the uk version of the eiretyres.com site. They simply post the tyres to you for the listed price. You need to get someone to fit them. There is a link on the right hand side of the main page where you can search for someone close to you who will do it (usually 10yoyos per corner) ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

I have used eiretyres 3 times now. The cost includes VAT and delivery but not fitting. They will recommend who to use but I prefer a local guy I know and trust as opposed to someone who will just feck me 17"s all around the place and put a trolley jack through the floor of the car.
eirretyres are the cheapest I could find and believe me I looked! their downside is that delivery can take a couple of days longer than the date they give you but I can live with that. ------------- |

I am in Belfast man, if its cheaper to buy them in Sterling feel free to get them delivered to me and come up and get them, or i am down galway direction in a couple of weeks and could drop them down if needed, I got charged £25 to get them fitted and balanced. Cheers Phil -------------

I know that, but some places that have euro and sterling websites still charge more in euros (play.com for example) -------------
