Tyres & Wheel Care — detail

What a quality workshop provides

Tyres are the only contact point between your vehicle and the road. Tread depth, pressure, condition and balance all directly affect braking, handling and fuel consumption. Tyres that are worn unevenly or incorrectly balanced cause unnecessary wear on suspension and steering components, costing more in the long run.

Signs You May Need This

  • Tread depth approaching the 1.6mm legal minimum
  • Uneven wear pattern visible across the tyre face
  • Vibration through the steering wheel at motorway speeds
  • TPMS warning light, puncture or unexplained pressure loss

How It Works

01
Tread depth, sidewall condition and pressure check across all four
02
Careful removal using rim-safe machinery
03
Computerised dynamic balancing to eliminate vibration
04
New valve fitted and wheels torqued to manufacturer specification

Common Questions

When can a puncture be repaired rather than replaced?

A tyre can be safely repaired if the puncture is within the central three-quarter area of the tread and the tyre has not been run flat. British Standard BSAU 159 defines the safe repair zone.

Do you handle Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors?

Yes. TPMS valve service and sensor reset is part of a proper tyre replacement on vehicles fitted with the system.

Which brands of tyre do you recommend?

Premium brands such as Michelin, Continental and Pirelli offer the best combination of safety and longevity. Mid-range alternatives from brands like Falken and Hankook also perform well and represent good value.
