    I shopped around late last year for tyre prices in Galway and these two were definitely the best value that I found.

    Treacy Tyres on the Galway Rd in Portumna (090)9741294
    I got my tyres there..forget exactly how much I paid but it was much, much cheaper than anywhere in the city and I didn't go for the cheapest brand either. Nice people also, family run.

    Cloonboo Tyres
    (091)793015
    I remember getting a quote from this guy also, very reasonable and he will travel to you.

    Brendan Byrnes in Oranmore or Martin Collins (Ballybrit Tyre Centre) on Monivea Rd also very reasonable and professional.

    I wouldn't recommend Kevin Farrell's. I used to be a good/faithful customer but my last visit ... they couldn't balance a wheel properly twice in the same day, so much that I thought there was another issue with the car, brought it to the main dealer and ended up paying the full price for a simple straight forward wheel balancing ... :-O
    Won't be going there again for a while...

    +1 For Cloonboo Tyres, Francis is a gent, and has an excellent mobile service if you can't get out to him...

    Like dilallio, I'd recommend Ballybrit Exhaust and Tyres, just up the road from Windsor in Ballybrit. I usually deal with Karol (Martins son) up there, and always get excellent service.

    +1 I went in a while back to replace some tyres and he told me only 2 needed to be replaced - honest and a decent price :p

    I'd go with Brendan Byrnes next door to Glynns Bar in Oranmore or Ballybrit Tyre Centre.
