    Ta for replies; tried Camskill but they don't stock 'em. Eiretyre's site doesn't specifically mention them either. Not mainstream stuff I s'pose.

    I've gotten van and car tyres from eiretyres.ie too, again at good prices and fast delivery, but as you say, they don't appear to do specialised stuff like skidsteer tyres.

    http://www.redpathtyres.com/ are based in Scotland, but they will ship to Ireland.
    I've bought very specialised off-road/4x4/jeep tyres from them in the past, and they're VERY highly regarded in the agricultural/earthmoving/industrial tyre world.

    No on-line ordering system I'm afraid, but they're very helpful on the phone, and will go to considerable lengths to be helpful. They'd certainly be worth getting a quote from.

    i think this is only usefull if you have your own tyre machine or no someone who will fit them as most garages will ride you if you sourced them somewhere else!! some wount even fit them for love or money!

    I got a lad out to the house, €10 a tyre fitted and balanced, not particularly cheap but I wasn't hanging round in the damn cold and he quoted me €30 a tyre more than I'd paid so I still saved €80 on the four tyres and had them fitted at home...
    Also wanted to get in with him as the missus can ring him now if she gets stuck when I'm away..

    I havent bought tyres in ireland in I'd say five years at this stage. (normal car/jeep/trailer/van tyres at least)

    never have problems getting them fitted, and the most I've ever been charged was €15 for fitting, balancing, new valve and disposal of 4x4 tyres.

    The best I've managed was €8 including disposal, but I think that was a mistake on their part.

    Tenner a go is fairly common.
