Wexford to Halifax – Another Customer Travels for Pellon Value

You’d think after all these years in the tyre trade that nothing would surprise me… but no. Every so often, something happens at Pellon Tyres that makes me smile and reminds me why we’ve built such a loyal customer base.

This week we had another long-distance visitor – and this chap came even further than the lad from the Isle of Arran.
This one travelled all the way from Wexford in Ireland.

Yes… Ireland!

A Kia Sportage, a Family Visit, and Halifax Prices That Can’t Be Matched

The story began when my manager received a phone call from a friendly Irish fella who was planning to visit family over here. He runs a Kia Sportage, and like a lot of people these days, he’d been shopping around online for the best tyre prices.

It didn’t take him long to realise something:

Our prices in Halifax were cheaper than the ones he was getting in Ireland — even after ferry trips and travel costs.

He’d already heard good things about us from a mate of his who’d lived in West Yorkshire years ago (word gets around!), so he booked in for a full set of tyres:

🟢 4 x 225/60R17 Comforser tyres
🟢 Wheel alignment while he was here

A proper job, done properly.


Why People Travel for Tyres: Wexford to Halifax

You might wonder why people cross borders and seas just for tyres — but once you’ve spent decades in this trade, the answer is simple:

Honesty, fair prices, and proper workmanship.

It doesn’t matter if you’re from Mixenden, Mirfield, or County Wexford — people know when they’re getting looked after. And once they know, they come back. Even if “coming back” involves a ferry, two motorways, and a visit to family.

What really makes me proud is that the chap trusted us enough to include a wheel alignment too. Anyone can sell a set of tyres, but taking the time to make sure the steering and tyre wear are spot on… that’s where the real value comes in.

Extra Paragraph – Wexford Customer Story: Wexford to Halifax

A similar thing happened only a week or so later when another long-standing customer got in touch — this time from Wexford in the Republic of Ireland. He’d bought a Kia Sportage after moving across the Irish Sea but still preferred to sort his tyres here in Halifax when visiting family. Prices in Ireland can be eye-watering compared to the UK, so he took the opportunity to call into Pellon Tyre & Autocentre for a full set of 225/60R17 Comforser tyres and a wheel alignment before heading back to the ferry. Wexford is a beautiful place — rolling farmland, coastal lanes, and proper rural driving — so he wanted tyres that offered good grip, durability, and value for money. Even after adding the travel costs, he told us he still saved a tidy sum by coming to Halifax, and more importantly, he knew the job would be done properly. It’s great to see customers who’ve moved abroad still choosing to come “home” to us for their tyres.

A Few Words About Comforser Tyres: Wexford to Halifax

Comforser tyres have become a popular choice for drivers who want decent performance without paying top-end prices. They’re what I call a solid mid-range tyre — not dirt cheap, but very good value for the money. Over the years we’ve fitted loads of them here at Pellon Tyres, especially on family cars, SUVs and crossovers like the Kia Sportage.

They offer a comfortable ride (the clue is in the name) and good wet-weather grip, and they tend to wear evenly when looked after with proper alignment — something we always recommend. For customers who rack up plenty of motorway or rural miles, they’re a sensible option that doesn’t break the bank. That’s exactly why our Wexford customer went for a full set: reliable, affordable, and ideal for the mixed driving you get on Irish roads.

That’s the Pellon way.

The document titled Wexford to Halifax addresses the importance of sourcing tyres in Halifax, particularly for Kia Sportage vehicles. Consumers seeking affordable options may explore tyre prices in the UK, including competitive deals from Pellon Tyres Halifax. Additionally, the comparison of tyre prices between Ireland and the UK could influence purchasing decisions, prompting travel for tyres if advantageous. Ensuring proper wheel alignment in Halifax is also essential for optimal vehicle performance, alongside the pursuit of cheap tyres in Yorkshire and Comforser tyres to meet diverse needs.

Falken Tyres for a VW Golf – A Cracking Deal for a Halifax Driver

Yesterday at Pellon Tyres, we welcomed a customer who popped in looking for a good deal on a decent set of tyres for his VW Golf. It was one of those crisp Yorkshire mornings, the kind where you can smell winter slowly creeping in, and folk start realising it’s time to get their motors sorted before the real cold snap arrives. As soon as he mentioned the Golf, we knew exactly what to recommend — a fresh set of Falken tyres.

Now, the VW Golf is a familiar sight on roads right across Halifax. Ever since the first generation rolled into the UK back in the mid-70s, it’s been one of those cars people keep coming back to. Solid, well-built and just good at everything you ask of it. I can remember seeing early Golfs parked around the town centre when I first started the business in the late 80s — small, smart hatchbacks with drivers who loved them to bits. Over the years, they’ve become part of the local landscape, from the streets of Pellon to King Cross and right over to Northowram.

Our customer’s Golf was a modern one, tidy as anything, and clearly looked after. After a quick look round and a chat, we recommended Falken ZE310 Ecorun tyres, one of our personal favourites for Golfs. Falken have come a long way in the tyre world, and more people in Halifax are starting to realise just how good they are.

A Bit of Falken History: vw-golf-falken-tyres

Falken started life in Japan in the early 1980s, aiming to produce high-performance tyres without the eye-watering price tags of some of the bigger names. The brand quickly gained popularity with motorsport fans, especially in drifting and endurance racing. That racing heritage matters because all the clever rubber compounds and tread designs eventually make their way into the road tyres we fit on everyday cars.

Here at Pellon Tyres, we’ve been fitting Falkens for years. We like them because they suit Yorkshire roads: plenty of wet grip for our rainy climate, strong performance on rougher rural roads, and good longevity so customers get value for money. They’re one of those “hidden gem” brands—once people try them, they usually stick with them.

Alignment Included — Because It Matters: vw-golf-falken-tyres

After fitting the new Falkens, Dale popped the Golf on the alignment ramp. There’s nowt worse than fitting brand-new tyres and watching them wear out unevenly because the tracking’s out. Halifax roads, with all their potholes and raised drains, can easily knock a car’s alignment out of line. A quick adjustment now saves a customer coming back with bald edges in a few months.

The difference afterwards was spot-on. The steering sat straight, the handling was sharper, and the new tyres sat perfectly flat on the tarmac. The customer noticed it straight away when he pulled away — always a nice moment.
