Kevin Burke Tyres (KBT ) is a family-owned business that has been a cornerstone of the Athenry community since the early nineties. Founded by Kevin Burke, who returned from England to take over the Arch Petrol Station where he had worked as a boy, KBT has grown by staying true to its core family values — providing a reliable, friendly, and efficient service.
These values are reflected in every aspect of their business, ensuring that customers receive personalised, trustworthy service each time they visit.
Over the years, KBT has become synonymous with quality and reliability, offering a range of tyre and wheel solutions that cater to the diverse needs of local motorists, businesses, and the wider community. From humble beginnings at the Arch Petrol Station, KBT expanded over 26 years in Caheroyan, becoming a well-known local fixture. In 2018, they moved to a purpose-built facility in Furzypark, just off the Galway-Dublin Motorway, allowing them to better serve their growing customer base.
The Furzypark facility in Athenry has been designed to cater to a wide range of vehicles—from small cars to large agricultural machinery. With ample customer parking, spacious service bays, and a drive-through tracking bay that can accommodate articulated trucks, KBT is well-equipped to handle any job. Despite their expansion, KBT remains committed to providing affordable solutions, especially during challenging economic times, ensuring their customers get the best value for their money.
