All i will say is avoid the petrol stations. I have low profiles and got 2 new ones at a garage on Umm Suqiem road opposite Danube. They charged me 600 each whereas the petrol stations wanted almost 750 plus vat!

Thanks REDDIVA. I did go to Pronto - the petrol station tyre place (i think that's what they are called!) and they were more expensive then some of the other quotes i got from other places. I have found a place but they are having problems in getting the rear two tyres. It's turning into a bit of a nightmare!

Last time I was searching for tyres I looked around a lot and these guys offered the best deal. https://msw-me.com/

As always, make sure to check the date stamp on the tyres to ensure you are getting new stock. https://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres/information/tyre-age

Max Garage, asking for Harsha, last time I had to put shoes on my motor he had a good deal, was only bettered by a different brand up by Festival City. They were really good. Sorry I can't remember but there are loads there.

Or, just near Max Garage and MoE there's a place that Millhouse recommended years ago to me, can't remember the name but he might.

I think it's always worth shopping around, some have different stock or brands.
Don't scrimp on tyres, they contribute greatly to keeping you alive so buy a good brand.
Buy ones that are at least recently produced - the production date is 4 number, the week of the year and the year. EG: 04/19 would be the 4th week of 2019.

Upgrade tyres and changing is the place scamp refers to.
