Changing tyres from run-flat to non run-flat

    Recently I got a lost pressure warning on the on-board-computer while I was travelling on motorway, since I am on run-flat and I pull over and had a look on four tyres which I didn't notice any significantly loss of pressure, so I just drove below 80kmh and get four tyres pressure checked in the next petrol station and pump the pressure to normal.

    So just in case I went for a check on the tyre at local dealer the next morning, and the report is leading me to consider changing all tyres and from run-flat to normal. (the front two tyres has uneven wear, i.e., 1.6/3/1, both rears are 3/3/3)

    From that I have to remind everyone here who doesn't check tyre pressure regular (specially before a long trip/motorway trip), please do check it at least once a month, or it will really cost you, and even worse.

    So I decide to change tyres. Can you guys recommend a place for tyre changing, fitting, balancing and alignment.

    Also, will this affect the warranty and insurance on the car if I change to normal tyres, do any of you or your friends have the experience in changing yours/theirs to normal tyre?

    Thanks in advance!

    I did search and had an idea like camskill, eiretyres, but can you recommend a reputable local mechanic/tyre shops in around Dublin?

    Thanks.
