Provided you want top quality tyres that would have originally gone on the M5 alloys (probably Continentals), you won't get much better than €900. You could always go Nankang

My 245/45 ZR18 Continental ContiSportContacts are €330 retail each fitted. Got one this time last year for €230 fitted, after ringing most of the usual suspects from the yellow pages and then some negotiation

:eek: Just checked eiretyres.com. Last year the list was €250 and I would have to pay someone to fit them. Now the price is €175. Big difference esp if you multiply by 4!!

Try Modern Tyres in Enniskillen 048 66323488

I needed 215 zr 17 a while back I wanted Goodyear F1's, cheapest quote I got was €880. In the end I got them in Enniskillen for £320 (fitted) about €480. I had a VAT number so he knocked the VAT off, no questions. As long as its a valid Irish VAT no. THey are open Saturdays till about 3.

Those prices are for 4 tyres

Not that much of an improvement in price and you will be getting cheapo lowish quality tyres for it. Of course, if you don't intend to ever exceed Irish maximum speeds and you don't have a problem with geezers lifting up their left nostril after spotting the make of the tyre upon close inspection, you're grand

Then again, why have M5 wheels with Lada tyres? Don't get me wrong, if I had bought a 530d second hand that happened to have M5 wheels and I would be concerned about costs of tyres, I would seriously consider my options too...
