Anyone know of good deals on trailer tyre/wheel sets?

Melodeon

I'm looking got a set of 4 x 195/60R12 tyres on 5 stud rims (6.5" PCD) to go on my old Ifor Williams DP120 trailer.

Anyone know of a reasonably priced source for this sort of thing?

Where are you based? Byrne trailers in Bunclody sell good second hand sets for these. I got some 13's for my indespension for €50 each.

I'm on the other side of Carlow from Bunclody, so that's well within reach.
Thanks for the tip, I'll give them a shout tomorrow.

How much were the complete wheels (rims and tyres). Afair its cheaper to buy complete wheel rather than tyre.

They didn't have a full set of used 195/60R12 on 6.5" PCD wheels, so I bought 4 new ones at €100 apiece.
€50 for a used one as a spare.

Brand new Maxmiler tyres in your size and spec are only about €65 each and maybe a tenner to fit

The €100 each was for the complete wheel: rim with the tyre fitted.

well if you needed the rims that mightened be too bad. Could you not have used your old rims, would save €100 or so

I figured the old rims had reached retirement age:
