Spendid dude, he'll call out and do them outside your house or where you work, Obviously he can't do the tracking then. Highly recommended though.

I got 2x new 16/205/55 inch Dunlops SP Sport Fast Response 205/55 R16 91H to be exact - €85 / tyre fitted & balanced

From these guys

http://www.galwaycarservicecentre.ie/

I was actually on my way to another place but was passing these guys and called in, got a decent price i think and they did it in 20 mins.

I called around all places i could find beforehand, also Clonboo but he wasn't open last Saturday.

I got quoted €75 / tyre in another place Hankook something, similar somewhere else...some places I called said when I asked "What tyres are they..?" "The're good tyres, like..."

The only problem I've had with Francis is that he didn't centre the steering wheel when tracking, it's slightly off-centre now.
Just something to be mindful of whenever you get tracking done.

Has anyone had any dealings with the new tyre place in westside? I need 2 new tyres and was going to call in there this evening on way home from work but havent heard anything about them yet. I thought I'd ask here first as I've had very mixed experiences with tyre places around Galway. From the comments on here though I'll probably just give Francis a call.

..he hardly 'called out' to Cork, shurely ?

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

Frances melia in Cloonboo fitted 4 new tyres for me, and threw in the tracking and didn't charge me to dispose of them. Highly recommended.

lol, I was a year in Galway from March 09 to March 10, when I bought the ole Merc she was parked up for a few weeks while I was selling the Prelude. He called out to do the tyres, very handy as I didn't have it insured
