    Have to get 4 new tyres for my car and was just wondering does the price differ much between tyre centres.

    I would be interested in anyone around Galway that knows especially.
    The closest tyre centres to me (that i know of) would be Farrell's tyres in Ballybane and the two beside each other in Bohermore.

    Tyre Size is 175/70 R13 if anyone knows normal price for tyres of this size

    Any info greatly appreciated

    I use Ballybrit Exhaust and Tyres in Oldenway (beside Windsor). 091-760760.

    I paid €320 for 2 Falken 265/40/17 tyres, and another €40 for 4 wheel laser alignment. I know from shopping around that that was a good price for the Falkens.

    Eiretyres.com
    Cheapest tyre delivered to your door (so P&P included) is:
    34.90euro "Goodride" H500 175/70 R13 82T

    Should only cost about a fiver per tyre to be fitted by any garage you wish. Well, thats what I think I was charged by Malahide tyres, great service btw.
    The price of tyres can differ hugely from garage to garage.
    Always ask for their 'budget' tyre when calling them up to get their cheapest one :) they have a tendency to push their dearer tyres for obvious reasons.

    I was looking for a full set of low profile tyres for a VW Passat and the cheapest I was quoted around Dublin was 120 per corner. I got tyres from Eiretyres.com at 70euro a corner and had them fitted by the above mentioned tyre place.
