After 25 years of supplying tyres to Irish farmers and hauliers, we have heard every tyre problem imaginable. From tyres wearing out before harvest ends, to the frustration of not being able to find the right size in stock, to the challenge of balancing tyre quality against tight budgets — we understand the real-world challenges our customers face.
The Four Most Common Tyre Challenges We Hear
1. Tyres Wearing Out Too Quickly
This is the most common complaint we hear from both farmers and hauliers. Premature tyre wear is usually caused by one or more of the following: incorrect inflation, misalignment, overloading, or simply using a tyre that is not designed for the application. The solution is often as simple as switching to a tyre with the right tread compound and construction for your specific use case.
2. Can’t Find the Right Size in Stock
We stock an extensive range of sizes in both the CEAT Specialty agricultural range and the Wellplus commercial range. If we don’t have your size in stock, we can usually source it within 48 hours. Call us with your tyre size and we’ll tell you immediately what we have available.
3. Cost — Quality Tyres Are Too Expensive
This is where the total cost of ownership argument becomes important. A cheaper tyre that lasts half as long is not actually cheaper — it costs more per kilometre or per season. We can help you find the right balance between upfront cost and long-term value.
4. Fitting and Turnaround Time
We offer a fast fitting service at our Rathcormac location, and for large fleet orders, we can discuss on-site fitting arrangements. We understand that downtime costs money, and we work to minimise it.
Whatever your tyre challenge, we can help. Call +353 (0) 2536301 today.
