Better grip. Better handling. Longer tyre life.
Whether you need replacement tyres or your car isn’t driving as straight as it should, Kylemore Motor Centre can help.
Your tyres are one of the most important parts of your car. If they're worn, damaged or just don't feel right, let us take a look.
We'll check their condition and give you straightforward advice on whether anything needs attention.
4 wheel alignment checks that all four wheels are sitting and pointing as they should.
If the alignment is out, your car may not drive as smoothly, your tyres may wear unevenly and the steering may not feel quite right.
Book 4 Wheel AlignmentCorrect wheel alignment can help your car feel more stable, improve how it handles and help prevent unnecessary tyre wear.
If something doesn't feel right when you're driving, it's worth getting it checked.
There are a few common signs that may mean your wheel alignment needs checked.
The car seems to drift or pull left or right while driving.
Your steering wheel sits off-centre when you're driving straight.
One part of your tyre appears to be wearing faster than another.
A heavy impact can sometimes affect your wheel alignment.
It's worth checking alignment if you're fitting new tyres, especially if your old tyres wore unevenly.
If the steering or handling feels different, let us take a look.
When you're driving, your tyres are the only parts of your car actually touching the road.
For a typical family car, the combined contact area of all four tyres may be roughly comparable to a sheet of A4 paper.
That relatively small amount of rubber has an enormous job to do.
The contact patch is the area of each tyre that is actually touching the road as you drive.
Illustrative example for a typical family car. Actual tyre contact area varies depending on the vehicle, tyres, vehicle load and tyre pressure.
Every journey relies on those four areas of tyre meeting the road.
Your tyres need to meet the road as they were designed to. If your wheel alignment is out, your tyres may not be working as effectively or wearing as evenly as they should.
Parts of the tyre can wear more quickly than others.
You may find yourself constantly correcting the steering.
Your steering wheel may not sit straight when the car is travelling straight ahead.
Poor alignment can mean replacing otherwise good tyres sooner than expected.
Correct wheel alignment can help your tyres wear more evenly and your car drive as intended.
If you're fitting new tyres, it can make sense to have your wheel alignment checked at the same time.
If the alignment is out, your new tyres could begin wearing unevenly sooner than they should.
Your old tyres can sometimes show signs that the wheel alignment isn't quite right.
If they have been wearing unevenly, it's worth checking the alignment before the same thing happens to your new tyres.
A simple check now could help your tyres last longer.

John and everybody working at the garage are really fantastic. They did a great job to our car and made us feel that everything will be perfect or better than perfect after the repair.
Fast and very helpful service. Friendly staff and reliable company. Thank you for everything.
John was an absolute gentleman to deal with. He made me feel comfortable straight away – I knew my car was in safe hands for its pre NCT check. Having a hire car available was just brilliant as I had to pick the kids up from camp. Car passed NCT first time. Will definitely use Kylemore again & again.
Excellent service, highly recommended

Great service
Great service, I took my Tucson in for a 20000 mile service and everything was well explained to me and the car was even cleaned at the end. Highly recommend.
The guys can’t do enough for you. My car has had several issues over the course of a month or two and the guys were incredibly accommodating. Left my BMW 330e in for a water pump and service. The guys had it in and done in the same day. Come from Naas just for them.
