Car Tyre FAQs
Get answers to the most common questions about car tyres, fitting, and maintenance
Check the sidewall of your current tyres for the size marking (e.g., 205/55R16). Also check your vehicle handbook or the label inside the driver's door frame. Our experts can also help you identify the correct size for your specific vehicle make and model.
We ensure tyre pairs have identical tread depth (within 2mm), same brand, pattern, and age characteristics for optimal performance and even wear. This service guarantees balanced handling and prevents uneven wear patterns that could affect your vehicle's safety and performance.
We recommend replacing in pairs, especially on the same axle. This ensures balanced handling and prevents uneven wear patterns that can affect vehicle stability. Replacing all four tyres at once provides the best performance, but pairs on the same axle is the minimum recommendation for safety.
Monthly checks are recommended, plus before long journeys. Correct pressure improves fuel economy, extends tyre life, and ensures optimal safety. Check when tyres are cold (before driving) for accurate readings. We also offer free pressure checks anytime.
1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre is the legal minimum. However, we recommend replacement at 3mm for better wet weather performance and safety. Stopping distances increase significantly as tread depth decreases, especially in wet conditions.
Yes, professional wheel balancing is included with every tyre fitting to ensure smooth running and prevent vibration at speed. We use computerized wheel balancing equipment to ensure perfect balance and optimal tyre life.
Yes, we can repair punctures in the tread area if they meet safety standards. Sidewall damage usually requires tyre replacement for safety. We follow British Standards for tyre repairs and will advise if a repair is safe or if replacement is necessary.
Premium tyres typically offer better fuel efficiency, longer life, superior wet weather grip, and quieter running. Budget options still meet safety standards at lower cost. Premium tyres often feature advanced compounds, better construction, and enhanced performance characteristics that can save money long-term through improved fuel economy and longevity.
