Hi,

Does anyone who is good with tyres know if theses are any good. Local tyre place quoted my €70 a tyre and said they what they recommend(205/55R16)

colm_mcm · 11-09-2018 03:11PM

Keep looking. You can get real tyres from brands you’ve heard of for that kind of money.

Tyre places recommend this stuff because their margin is way higher than on mainstream brands.

Try openio dot ie
Stick in your tyre sizes and you can check the price of tyres
This does not include fitting or balancing
Just you buy the tyres and get someone to fit

Road noise is rotten, and there's no such thing as comfort. They feel like tyres Fred Flintstone would use.

I did get mine back in 2015 so prices probably went up
My mate fitted them
Just looked at website I said
58 quid for hancook each delivered to your door
Not sure what fitting and balancing your garage would cost
15 a corner I guess

Keep ringing around. Tyre pricing is infuriatingly secretive and illogical.
Ask for brand name tyres. Write it down and keep ringing.

205/55-16 seems to be the one size that all Tyre Crowds are pushing nowadays. Chinese stuff but some are just about OK.

Most Tyre Places are advertising them at €50 each, with some even dropping to €40 now and again.
Had two sets on a Prius for a coupe of years and no problems....although the Prius is the one Car that will do everything in it's power not to spin wheels, lock up, or slide off the road

What did you put them on ?
For the right price, they could be a fine deal.

There's some online tyre shops, I got 4 nokian (205/55/16, triple A rating) some weeks back off tyreleader, delivered no problem and E50 to fit them.

and a link to reviews of Deestone tyres, E70 get you some Bridgestones, Goodyear,

bazz26 · 11-09-2018 07:43PM

There isn't really any savings in that size by buying online, 205/55/r16 is probably the most common size tyre available these days. A place is going to charge you at least €10 a tyre to fit and balance so you really need to be buying the tyre online for €50 or less for it to make sense imo. It's really only the bigger less common size high end stuff that you will see a reasonable savings on from buying online.

colm_mcm · 11-09-2018 07:50PM

The big advantage of online is you have information, ratings, specs, prices etc at hand.
Bazz is right about pricing.

Power Pants to reception please

Anything with 'stone' in the name has to be good. It's like a gentleman's agreement between tyre manufacturers not to give themselves a stone name until they reach a certain vaguely defined level of competence

colm_mcm · 12-09-2018 10:46AM

My mother went in for Bridgestone, came out with Silverstone.

98q76e12hrflnk · 12-09-2018 12:36PM

OP here again

would Uniroyal RainSport 3 be a good of tyre for €75?

morritty · 12-09-2018 12:39PM

That's what I'm running now, i hear they wear quick but I can say they have great grip with some spirited driving.

They're a good tyre. Made by Continental. It's what I have.

The Three Ratings listed beside online Tyres are Fuel Efficiency, Grip, and Noise. These Ratings are all supplied by the Tyre Manufacturer and, as such, should be ignored

.

Op, Rainsport 3's can be got online for €59.40. If you can get someone to fit them for €10 or less (per tyre) then you are €20 up....if you prefer to buy locally, you're not being fleeced at €75 per Tyre.

The Rape of Lucretia · 12-09-2018 08:21PM

You should be able to find a set of Goodrides for €10ea less than the Rainsports, but would still need to get them fitted. RP28s.

mgbgt1978 · 12-09-2018 08:27PM

Coming in at €43.83 ea for the Sa-37 . €50.37 for the RP28's
Depends whether the Op is after a Goodride or not I suppose.....

If you think €85 is a lot - I just got 2 new rear tyres for mine at €189 each

They’re both round and black. That’s about all they have in common.

Well you say round.... It's a loose term when dealing with some of the chinese stuff.
