    Wouldn't go to Dessies but would recommend John Banks, they are pleasant to deal with & don't make $h1t of your alloys. Prices are on a par with others around town.
    I have used Treadwell lots in the past & Liam & the lads that were operating the depot near the train staton were good to deal with & handy in town. hey've moved into a consolidated epot down the Marina & don't open on Saturdays so I switched to John Banks Tyres as I'm not near the Marina during the week.

    For continental tyres I found cost plus tyres gd value. Mind u they are not in the city, off kinsale road roundabout so maybe a bit far out for u.

    I've always found fast fit in Togher to be good in both service and price
