    Trying to find a mid price range pair of 255/45 R17 tyres and noone seems to stock them or if they do they only have the premium brands at over €275 per tyre.

    Anyone know who would have a selection of these "rare" tyres?

    They are not a size that anyone will have any selection of in stock.
    They would be priced and ordered as required.

    What car are they for?

    Yep, anything that is not a common size will only be ordered when somebody wants them, as it doesn't make financial sense in buying stock that could be sitting there for over a year before someone comes in asking about it.

    You can get Falken FK452 online here:

    The likes of Kumho's are available from suppliers in Ireland @ around the €150 mark fitted.

    Just remember that if you buy tyres from Camskill, you may have trouble finding somewhere that will fit them for you.

    eiretyres.com

    Have various makes from €94 to €342 should be able to find some within your budget, delivery is included in pricing, I've used them for Winter tyres and found them to be efficent

    As to fitting they have a list of affiliated fitters in Ireland ( use their search engine at the bottom )

    Just be mindfull that many of their 'affiliated fitters' have never even heard of Eiretyres.:eek:

    No but they probably know Delticom, which is the actual company

    In most cases I found camskill.co.uk to be cheaper than eiretyres.ie even when you take in the terrible exchange rate at the moment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,943 ✭✭✭Tropheus


    eiretyres.com or camskill.co.uk are your best bets. I've found Camskill to be cheaper over the last few months as has been mentioned above.

    Local bricks and mortar suppliers tend to have very limited stock and struggle to match online prices. Tough, but that's the economic climate we live in.
