Tyre Place Recommendation - Dublin

Postby adrian » Tue Jul 13, 2010 8:07 pm

Mods, not sure if this is the right place... feel free to move:

Anyway, just got 4 new tyres fitted to the RX8 and I felt great service deserved some mentioning. Jim Butler Tyres in Harolds cross today fitted 4 Bridgestone RE050A 225/45/18 tyres for me. Discount Auto in Blanch quoted 210 a tyre fitted....Jim Butlers was 175 a tyre fitted. This represents similar value to getting them in yourself and finding a fitter from what I can see... and to me hassle has a price too!

Got the wheel alignment done too... laser jobbie. That was 35 euro... albeit for only from front... he fitted laser "receivers" on the back wheels and the laser "beams" (queue Dr. Evil finger to mouth) to the front. This might not be considered full 4 wheel laser but it made a huge difference.

Oh, his number 4964542 or 4964636
