I need new tyres and my local bike shop told me the best idea is to buy them from Eire Tyres, and then get him to fit them. Apparently the shop makes so little on most tyres that its not worth the time spent ordering and paying for them.

Anyway I placed my order, and by return I got a reply from Eire Tyres (who are based in Germany) saying they could not get authorisation on my credit card and I would have to phone them to make alternative arrangements (ie, bank transfer). My card is paid up, and well below limit, so I'm thinking they want to avoid card charges and get cash up front. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Whats wrong with Cotters.....

Simon is back at work and they have purchased the unit next door and are in the middle of fitting a mezzanine floor and getting it ready for opening.

www.cottermc.com The website hasn't been updated in a while so you could ring them on 4603807 to get a tyre quote.

Buth I used eiretyres twice in the last 12 months with no probs for cage tyres. www.camskill.co.uk was the cheapest online but they often don't have stock. (they say online whether stuff is in stock before you place an order.)

Never bought from them but ive often checked out the site,they seem to be on the higher end of the price scale.Crossans if Simon is too far away for you,the delivery should work out free

Now that i think i do believe Simon will post the tires out too

I've used EireTyres for the car a few times - no hassles that I can recall ... probably need to jump through some hoops in relation to addresses / delivery etc ... it's going to be something simple.

Thanks for the replies guys. I can't be arsed driving somewhere and waiting to get tyres fitted. I orderd from Crossans, delivery to Moto4U in Rathfarnham. Actual cost was less than Eire Tyres - €240 incl delivery for a set of BT023s.
