anyone have any experience with this crowd?http://www.tyreland.ie/ i need 4 tyres soon (225/45/17) and money is a bit tight. i refuse to put crap tyres on my car so i said i would price up a few part-worns. they said they can suply bridgestone or pirelli for 60 each. these would be grade a with about 75% thread left. any opinions on this?

Best way to go if you can't quite stretch to new premium tyres IMO.

People just don't realise that even premium tyres with 3mm(minimum safety limit) will have better grip and road stability then most new Chinese plastic.

cheers nd. that is my line of thought. i had a lone of a spare wheel with some cheap tyre on it when i was refurbing my alloys and it nearly caused me to crash countless times. the grip was non existent. it locked up under light braking (abs light flashing) there was a contentintl sports contact on the other side (fronts) and it never spun or skidded and it was bald!
just looking on eiretyres here and they have 1 or 2 good deals too

What are those Falken ZE912 ZIEX's like?
I priced them before but just wasn't sure what they would be like.

Ardennes1944 · 01-12-2011 02:31PM

seem to get good reviews online. i had falkens before briefly and thought they were good

friso59 · 01-12-2011 02:43PM

I've gotten tyres from tyreland before and they've been great. The guys up there are really fast and there's loads of top brand tyres you can choose from. I got 4 continentials and they all had loads of thread left.

They're good, been using them for the last few years, previously in 215/45/17 and now in 225/40/18 and 255/35/18.

Good grip and good wear rate.

I got two on the front of my car last week and it has been a while since \I could floor it with no wheelspin.
I can get them a little cheaper than that price on Eiretyres Inc. fitting etc. If you are interested in taking a trip to Fermoy.

sean1141 · 01-12-2011 06:26PM

I asked him last week about that size for the Toledo and I think he said 140 each

Kevvv · 02-12-2011 12:26PM

Anybody know any other places that do part worns? Tried tyreland but only had one left of the size I was looking for. 185/55 R14's

I agree with the concept of this. But what I'm wondering is where these part worn tyres come from?

Are there enough people changing tyres before they need to, that supply this market or something?

I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious!

I think they import them from Europe where they have 2 change them every winter

I think Germany to be precise. I think its something like once a car has been in any kind of accident they must be changed.
If I am wrong I would be sure that someone will come on and correct me.

mickdw · 08-12-2011 08:07PM

Plus they have to fit winters at a certain date. Im sure there are alot of company fleets that dont store them for future use.

Eoin · 09-12-2011 01:25PM

Thanks for that, that does make sense.

I got a part worn 215/45/17 Falken fitted today for 50, which seems like decent value.

Tallon · 09-12-2011 02:31PM

Where was that man?

Cheers man, looking for the same size myself, so will check them out

A-Trak · 09-12-2011 05:43PM

I'd have no bother recommending tyreland. I got 4 16' Pirelli wintersports with 6mm fitted and balanced for €200.

Lads were sound and even wrapped thenew tyres and rims in cling for me to transport home as I wasn't fitting them to the car yet.

richardsheil · 09-12-2011 09:50PM

There are better value places than tyreland and autodepot.

Check out donedeal ads for part worn. Good prices in Walkinstown, Palmerstown and Cabra. Just got some 16" Pirelli tyres for my brother in law's Rav 4 for 30 each.

If you can trust that the ones on donedeal are getting the tyres through the proper certified channels.

Rob C · 10-12-2011 08:25PM

A lot of these tires, (most I have been told) are repaired tyres from Europe. i.e had punctures and were repaired.

Now that doesn't mean they're no good, if its a simple puncture a repair can mean the tyre is back to full use. But it's something to keep in mind.

shankespony · 10-12-2011 08:58PM

Thats not my experience of part worn with tyreland, they test the tyres on an expensive piece of kit, they sell only top makes and these are better than many new cheap makes. The prices are keen & lads are sound and seem to have expanded from when i was there last year. Would use again without hesitation, i have no association with the company .

mickdw · 10-12-2011 09:07PM

Nothing wrong with part worn tyres. Buy from reputable outlet, dont be afraid to have a good look before fitting for any obvious damage, any repairs, and for the real amount of thread. Also remember, a new tyre will have about 6.5mm wearing thread before it hits the legal wear limit with an overall thread of 8mm approx.
A tyre with 4mm thread might look lke a bagain but has little life left, less that 2.5 mm wearing thread.
