Hi,
Just got a quote for tyres for my diesel A4 car, E200/per tyre for micehlin or equivalent or E100/per tyre for cheaper one. Having driven a petrol 1.4 golf and changed tyres for 55/per tyre previously, I got a bit of a land. Any ideas of where would be good value to change tyres in DUblin/Meath/ Mayo areas (lots of driving)
Thanks in advance
 
Going to be in the same position myself later this year, I used get good prices for the GTI tyres from Sean McManus near Drogheda. Details as per the link. Short of that you may need to spend the Queens shilling in order to get the value you want.

What size wheels are you running ?

Do you drive like a car thief ?

How much mileage ?

Answer these and it'll be easier to recommend tyres.

But avoid Nangkang, Linglong etc...commonly known as 'ditchfinders'!)
 
i do about 25K miles p/a
no, tend to take it handy driving
17 inch alloys on SE 143 bhp A4
thanks for advice,

Don't discount buying yourself and getting fitted. Check out Camskill.co.uk and then add €15 per corner for fitting.

Do the maths yourself and see what works. You should be getting good quality rubber for about €110 per corner.

Let us know how you get on.

James, I do about 20k miles per year,sometimes more. TBH I prefer a tyre with grip particularly in the wet climate we have. Hence I went for P6000's.

I am not having a go here, when I had a company car, Advance used to always put Continental tyres on saying they are a great tyre, sure you would get 25k miles easy & Continentals have the same tyre rating as P6000's which they do. My point is I would rather have something that would give you confidence when going into corners knowing you would get out, even though P6000's are less durable. IMHO its worth the extra cash to change tyres more frequently.

Consequently discovered Advance & Continental are part of the same group of companies ;)
 
Thanks for replies, I got 4 Falken ZIEX ZE-912 delivered in 2 days from camskill, no hassle finding address in Co Meath. Fitted without any hassle by Browne Motors in Robinhood Hd Industrial Park, Ballymount, would highly recommend ( E12.50 per tyre) No association with garage

Very pleased
 
Will be heading to Newry shortly and need 2 new tyres (225/45 17"). Is there still value to be had in the North? Any suggestions?
 
I bought 2 Dunlop SP Sport 225/50 17" at Modern Tyre Service, Enniskillen (company also in Newry). Paid £145 each (290 stg for 2).
