Tyres in Limerick/Which Tyres?

zilog_jones

Any recommendations for where to get tyres in Limerick? Easiest for me would be the Advance on the Ennis Road, but could I get much better deals in the independant places?

Also I thought I might as well get some decent tyres while I can afford them, i.e. no more Chinese crap . Any recommendations for what to get? They're just bogger 155/70 R13 tyres so I can't see anything particularly fancy being available, but I don't know the difference between the big brands or anything.

Try these guys. I have been using them for the last 7 yrs and have been happy with the price and service. Paul is the main guy there.

I would also second Victory Tyres. My old man gets his tyres plus the tracking and wheel alignment done there and has no complaints. Unfortunately last time I was looking for Toyo tyres they didn't sell them.

But if your willing to travel a bit I have bought from www.daltontyres.ie, they are based in Cahir, Co. Tipperary. They have a good selection of tyres and alloy wheels. I found their prices on some brands to be worth the 40 mile trip in the past. John is the guy there to speak with.

Regarding which tyres from experience over the years I would recommend Vredestein, Goodyear or Continental. Michelins are good but tend to be very expensive these days and tend to only sell high end tyres.

Sounds like a good place! Never heard of it before but I know the street. Thanks for the help.

Abbey tyres in Abbeyfeale are very good too, good selection, and the good brands are very well priced. Good service too, won't scratch the alloys!!

You should look at dunlop or bridgestone or good year, or semperit are quite good. Uniroyal are actually OK too for that size tyre. Avoid chinese and korean tyres like the plague.

I second that with the Chinese Tyres...

I bought a second hand car with 4 chinese tyres on it. I brought it into Paul in Victory for 2 new back tyres and he was laughing at me when he saw the tyres that were on it..

He did me a good deal on 2 225/50/R16 Dunlop SP Sport Maxx for my CLK230.

I'll be going back for 2 more for the front in a few thousand miles, once my pocket recoups itself!!

No affiliate either just a customer

Got great service from Victory Tyres yesterday. The guys spotted a loose cover on the steering joint and cable tied it up. Didn't charge me anything for it even thought they spent at least 15 mins getting it done.

Another vote for Victory tyres here. Paul is an absolute gent. 2 back tyres for the van done in record time at 8.45 last sat morning
