    if you buy from eiretyres just be aware that not every tyre centre will fit them. Check their website for approved centres. You will also have to pay for the fitting (€10 a wheel I think)
    If you have a cheaper quote from a tyre centre that probably includes fitting and balancing.

    I paid around 86-90 euro a tyre for Falken FK452'a (I think) off camskill.co.uk - I found them to be a fair bit cheaper than eiretyres for similar and camskill only charge 6 euro delivery per pair of tyres (eiretyres include delivery in the price of the tyre). I got 4, those Falkens have a good reputation.

    I got them fitted for 15 euro a tyre including balance, and 75 quid for a 4 wheel alignment. Most places will fit tyres you buy off the internet for a fee, just ring and ask them, though I dont think the big chains like Qwik Fit and Advanced Pitstop do.

    So about 510 quid for 4 tyres (372+135) - bit cheaper than what you've got quoted though Falkens wouldnt be the most expensive tyre but perform as well as the most expensive by all accounts.
