you are in Dublin, the motorway to the north will get you there in under 1.5-2 hours.
I buy all my tyres in the north, I have a 4x4 and I save over €700 by going north, if you have a vat number you dont have to pay yhe UK Vat, therefore another 17.5% saving.
What kills me is all the tyres for the Island of Ireland come into Dublin port, x amount turm right for the north where they are 60-70% cheaper than the ones staing in the ROI.
the problem is there are too many people between the manufacturer and the tyre centre all who are taking a percent (10% minimum).
as a test, I called 3 tyre centre near where I live in the west, they where all in the same ball park of 275 per tyre _Fitting and ballancing, therefore nearly 300 per tyre.
I deal with a tyre centre outside Belfast Stg£80.00 per tyre for EXACTLY the same brand and size.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of our OWN people RIPPING us off. welcome to ROI, and that is RIP Of Ireland?
