Best Value Tyres Dublin?

iniall

Anyone got any tips on where in Dublin to get decent value on tyres? I've an NCT coming up and need at least two tyres. 215/55 R16 for a Citroen Grand C4 Picasso.

I've done a bit of searching online, but most of the dealers won't show prices on their websites, they just say "call us for a quote" instead.

Are you looking something half decent or the cheapest possible tyres you can find?

Just call them for a quote. You dont have to take them up on it.

My rule of thumb recently has been, get at least a mid-range tyre brand:

http://www.discounttyres.ie/ are good, and well recommended. First stop carry firestone multihawks I think. They're a solid mid-range, mid-price tyre.

I think I speak for everyone on the motors forum here, when I say, Dont buy cheapo Chinese tyres.

No, definitely something half-decent. I don't want to get the cheapest, lowest-quality tyres I can find.

Dave McCann mobile tyre fitters are excellent and fairly priced. Beware places quoting you then adding VAT, valves and disposal!

I went with the Firestone Multihawk 2, seemed to get good reviews overall. More expensive Bridgestone tyres seemed to fair badly in reviews.

Haughton & Sons first stop garage up near Blanch did decent prices on multihawks the last time a friend went there. A different First Stop garage was quoting him way more than Haughton & Sons. Worth a shout if you're nearby.

PS. They do online quotes, but when I rang up asking the price was cheaper

Discount tyres in Blanch are worth a call too, ask for Keith.

Check if 205/55/R16 will fit your car instead OP. My last car (a Passat) had the same tyres you have now and I found them virtually impossible to get in a decent brand, but the 205's were far more readily available and a fair bit cheaper!

Check out www.tyresdublin.ie for prices on tyres.

Thanks all for suggestions and opinions.

I ended up getting extra-load Bridgestones (for the price of extra-load Firestones) in First Stop Donnybrook.

And passed the NCT this afternoon, so now good till 2017 (hopefully).
