Which out of these are the best tyre to buy. Here

Or even better a place in Galway that has decent tyres and can fit? Good prices too.

Also a tyre that is good in the rain.

If you go to http://www.eiretyres.com/ there's a comparison between noise wet grip rolling resistance etc
The cheapest one I'd go for on your link is khumo

Is khumo a good brand?

Yes they are. I'd look at these also:

If your looking at 18" tyres then I'd discard anything under €100 straight away. Decent 18" tyres are not cheap.

For value for money you won't get much better than falcon

Best on that list by a mile is the Goodyear eagle F1 asymmetric . Ive had most high performance tyres on my bmw 645ci at this stage and they were among the bes. the rainsport 2 aint bad either .

SpannerMonkey · 21-09-2013 5:29pm

What car are you putting them on ?

Instead get Uniroyal RainExpert from Eiretyres for less than 70 and get Francis or fsknocknacarra.com fit them for you.

Where do you see them for less than 70 on eiretyres?

I have 2 Fedral SS595s on the front of my Octavia vRS and can't fault them.

I wanted a good rain tyre and I'm impressed with them in both the wet and dry.

Also honourable mention to Falken FK452s which I had on my 260bhp 200sx and they were excellent, although more expensive.

I'd love to have some people experience a proper tyre in the rain and bench mark from there. I had Fedral SS's on my old A4 and i found them awful.

Hi All,

Not to hijack the OP's thread but I have a VW Golf 2010. I need 4 new tyres, I currently have Bridgestone Turanza ER 300 205/55 R16 91V.
I was quoted €360 to replace them. BEst quote I got so far. Just wondering are they good tyres and is there anything better in their class for around the same or cheaper price?

Which is the best tyre to buy?
