Irish members question cooper or general distributor?
Just a question to see where one would be able to buy either Cooper Zeon Ltz or General grabber Uhp tyres in Ireland particularly in the west if possible >
It might be only possible to buy from the UK and fitted here but its getting hard to find garages to fit them without being charged a fortune
I like the look of the Ltz but dont know if they do much for the MPG as I do a lot of road.
Any help on these would be great

Well MM
Perhaps a pm to BarryG mite be a start, he's in the wild west and might know of someone
Or else
PM Discowex cos he has a rubber fetish
I bought coopers in the UK, my local man in the SE could only order them in from the north so worked out cheaper in UK Mainland. Not much help to you I know but the lads should know more hopefullyA happy childhood ... is the worst possible preparation for life.

thanks Tanters , how do you find the ltzs have they changed the mpg much if you were running RT versus ATs the last time and are they steady in the rain ?
Cheers

not much help to you but I have the General grabber UHP . My cousin brought them over from UK on the way home from a work trip and I have to say they are a great tyre . best ive had on the Disco so far. And all this stuff about the load rating is well worth adhering to no side wall damage at all since i got them 4 - 5 months ago . hade loads of probs with lesses rated products from com[etitors.

Meylers Tyres in Trinity Street ,Wexford stock Coopers .As for UHP's anyone that has used them including myself have sourced them from Camskill.co.uk who deliver them to your door for about 40 pounds IIRC.My local village fitter never has any problems mounting tyres sourced elsewhere , usually about 20 euro mounted & balanced.
