Fitting/balancing of internet-bought tyres - south dublin, north wicklow

Paremon

Looking to buy+fit 2x Hankook Ventus Prime 4 K135 & get the best overall deal (whether supply+fit or self-supply/internet+fit). Cheapest I've found is autopink-shop.ie at E99.90 for supply. Now need to find a good value garage to fit/balance/dispose.

Looking for recommendations for garages in South Dublin or North Wicklow who fit internet-bought tyres for a reasonable price (somewhere between €15 & €25, including fitting, balancing & disposal).

Related, has anyone used autopink-shop.ie? Seems cheaper than oponeo

Motorway Tyres in Tallaght fitted tyres for me before, they charged around €20 per tyre.

Blacklion autoworx in greystones charged me 15 per tyre.

Just a word of warning - some charge extra for disposal. If the price is too low, it might not be included.

I found tyreleader.ie generally cheaper for buying over the other online sites.

Thanks. Was this relatively recent? They quoted €25.50 to me today (€20 + VAT + €2.80 disposal) per tyre.

Yes, but this was 2 years ago. The price is likely to be higher now

Around march 2022 IIRC. I was getting a heap of stuff done on another car at the time, so maybe that helped ;-)

You can ring most tyre places and they will say yes or no. Its typically 20 euro a corner but it may depend on tyre and runflat and pressure sensor valve. Some say they only do this at quiet times.

In bray on boghall road then the place near Aldi/power city did it for me.

If you have expensive alloys it might be better to get alloy specialist refurb to change tyres.

Beware most / all Irish online tyre places are not Irish and you may be waiting up to 4 weeks. In some cases tyres come from different places and may have old date codes or be different batches. As said confirm the price including taking old tyre

Have you found their date codes, batches & delivery timelines to be good?

I use Tyreland mobile fitting all the time - ask for the fella with kiwi accent he’s brilliant and takes great pride and care in his job.

Ditto. Excellent service, comparable to online without the hassle.

If you haven't ashtray bought then, try the tyre box.ie they match online prices and have arrangements in place with nationwide fitters. You order and pay, they deplore day to your chosen location.

Simples, using them years and for hassle free fresh tyres I couldn't beat them
