Hi

In girne there is a tyre dealer opposite the colony ,but behind the petrol station .
There is also a dealer opposite Molly's in girne .

Best to price up or I know of one in lefokosa .

I'm bit sad really as on my holidays over the time have been in for look.
in UK I manage 81 sites for a large UK tyre company ,so bit like a bus mans holidays lol

I would second the guy opposite Molly's you turn down the road next to the Teacher's Hotel he is just a few metres down there on the right. He encourages you to go in every month to have the pressures checked & always gives a good price for new tyres.

Thanks for your replies.I called at the garage opposite the Colony a few days ago but they could only supply Far East make.They were able to supply Hercules tyres which after some research are Canadian.
I want to avoid cheap makes if possible ,as with tyres you get what you pay for which I am sure Kavenkoy would agree with.My first choice is BF Goodrich but like most things here finding what you want can be a challenge.
If anyone knows of a dealer in Lefkosa that's probably where I will find what I am looking for.

There is a tyre dealer on the main road to the airport ,it's a Goodyear truck point centre on left up on the hill .There is also a tyre dealer in lefokosa that sell alloys wheels etc but I can't recall exact I think its towards the methehan crossing before you get that way ?may be somebody would know exactly. .

Other suggestion is to chip way online on the south side if that's a option for you ?

Dont putbudget tyres on F g sake .

The difference in handling,rolling resistance on braking and cornering is extremely noticeable
Also the overall stopping difference in the wet noticeable .

I'm coming over November if you want a set in my case
