Hi there ,Need to get 4 new tyres for the car.Anyone know where would be the best place and cheapest to go to get them supplied and fitted .Thanks a mill.
November 15, 2010 at 9:10 pm #104528snowdropMemberDont know where you are based but Gormanstown Tyres on the Money Road are great and there a place in Balbriggan near the railway station that are great too.
November 15, 2010 at 9:12 pm #104529hjsMemberU cannot beat the plcae out on the Collon Rd past Tullyallen, Begrath Motors (or something similar sounding) they called. DH v shrewd about quality/price of tyres, has done all research, these r best. And really lovely local man runs it too.
November 15, 2010 at 9:14 pm #104530JedtKeymasterGlen Tyres in Balbriggan are excellent, I got 4 tyres for our Renault Laguna for 250 euro, fitted and that is a great price, we were quoted 420 in Drogheda!
if you’re going there ask for Michael, he is a really nice guy, always looks after us well.
November 15, 2010 at 9:29 pm #104531BiddyMemberThats great,Thanks a mill for the replies ,will check them out ,need to get it sorted soon,roads are getting slippy again..xx
November 15, 2010 at 11:57 pm #104540Taylor5MemberI use 2 places in Drogheda Mac Tyres in the forecourt of the Top garage in Drogheda, all the taximen in drogheda get him for tyres, great prices and not cheap quality tyres…
If you looking for brand names McManus tyres Marsh Rd, Drogheda – 041 9837748, they are fantastic…. i got Dunlop preimum tryes ONLY 80 euro per tyre… they were 105e (another tyre shop in Drog 145 for same tyre) but i said out of my price range, so got him down to 80e
Oh An Post use Mac Manus tyres for their vans and trucks… that says alot
November 16, 2010 at 11:23 am #104545Financial CompanionParticipantI checked around last time I needed some (including ringing Newry) and McManus tyres came out the best (couple of minutes out the Marsh road from Drogheda and look for it on the right, you turn and entrance is at the back of it)
November 16, 2010 at 3:53 pm #104574Taylor5MemberI did the same, even went online to see if buying online and then fitting, but mc manus was much cheaper….. you can get tyres for as little as 50 euro (for a family car) but they arent the best quality.
I went for the McTyres at top for mine, not much milage… but the Dunlops in mc manus for dh who would do a good few miles a weekI went in and it was wet and windy on a saturday afternoon, i asked when did they close, the old man just said "oh, dont worry when the last customer is gone we close"… every 5 mins someone else arrived and there wasnt a "your keeping me here late" attutide from any of the staff, that really impressed me as well as the price of the tyres 😆 😆 😆
November 24, 2010 at 11:40 am #105062mammycoolParticipantThere is a place between Plattin and Duleek – not sure of the name. The tyres are about 40euro. Depends on the car.
November 24, 2010 at 12:56 pm #105066Taylor5Memberi popped into a place that had a 40 tyres (not the place on the platin road) but they were part worn tyres 😯 Eh, no thanks…… so just be aware when shopping for tyres
