A Question about Tyres.

[The Marcos Graveyard]

Hi guys,

I got an email from a lady in Dublin in which she asked me where would be the best place to get tyres for her Mini at a reasonable price.

Could you reply here with what your current tyre make/size is and where you purchased and if you would recommend your tyre or supplier.

Thanks,

TMG

Hows the marcos man? just on tyres, don't know if this will help but i use Brendan Brady in Arklow. he's a very good tyre dealer. He keeps in stock a selection of good quality tyres in 10, 12 and 13 inch sizes. i bought 13 inch dunlopsp sports for 96 ish a pop. otherwise i use midland wheels and get delivery within 2-3 days usually. most recently pirelli p5000s at 42sterling each plus 27ster delivery.

I've used http://www.eiretyres.com a number of times with no problems

165/70/10
Falken @ €40.80
Yokahama @ €61.30

165/60/12
Falken @ €51.10
Yokohama @ €63.80


175/50/13
Dunlop @ €73.50
Yokohama @ €73.10

All the above prices include delivery to Ireland.
She will still need to get them fitted which usually costs about €10 a tyre but there is still savings to be made.

Depending on how urgently she needed them she could add her name to the list here http://irishminis.ie/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2988 and hopefully their will be enough interest to get them much cheaper than Eire tyres are quoting
