The guides answer the questions drivers ask at the car: what a fair fitted price looks like, whether a puncture can be repaired, how to read the sidewall, what the warning light means, when a tyre is legal and when it is not, and which tyre suits the car and the miles it does. Sixty eight of them, in six groups, written by the fitters who do the work.
The first two groups are the ones that save money and mornings. Costs and choosing covers what goes into a fitted price, where premium tyres earn their money and where they do not, and the budget brands that are actually worth fitting, so that the three tiers you are quoted make sense before you pick one. Mobile fitting and emergencies is the group to read once before you need it: what to do with a flat, a nail or a blowout, why not to pull the nail out, and what the fitter needs when the van arrives. Start with flat tyre: what to do and what mobile tyre fitting costs.
The middle two groups are about the tyre itself. Understanding your tyres decodes the sidewall, the speed and load codes, the EU label and the difference between directional, asymmetric, run flat and self sealing tyres. Care and maintenance is the five minute monthly check, the pressure figure and where to find it, balancing and alignment explained, and how to read a wear pattern so the fault behind it gets fixed rather than the tyre replaced again. See tyre size explained and how to check your tyres.
The last two are the law and the vehicle. Safety, law and MOT covers the 1.6mm limit and the fines, aquaplaning, mixing tyres, the TPMS light and pothole claims. For your vehicle and the seasons covers vans, SUVs, electric cars, caravans and motorhomes, motorbikes, and the winter question for the North West and the hills around it. Every guide ends the same way: if you need a tyre, send the size or the registration and it is fitted at your door. See UK tyre law and mobile tyre fitting.
The size is on the sidewall of the tyre, or send us a photo of it. It lands with the fitter on shift. No call-out charge, and the fitting is already in the price.
You are through to YourNewTyres. What size are the tyres?
The size is printed on the sidewall, like 205/55 R16. Send that and where you are, and I will come back with a fitted price and the next slot.
A photo of the sidewall does the job if you would rather not type it out.

Three ways it usually happens, and what actually needs to happen next.
You have pulled onto the M62 hard shoulder with a shredded tyre, no spare and a phone at 9 per cent. The recovery truck wants two hours. We come to the car with the tyre on the van.
You come out to the drive and one tyre is flat to the rim. The garage opens at half eight and cannot look at it until Thursday. We fit it on the drive before the school gates open.
A work van with a nail in a rear tyre is a day of jobs cancelled. We come to the yard or the site, before the first job if you send the size tonight.
What a fair price looks like, and where the extra money goes.
Where the money goes in a fitted price, and what a fair one looks like.
What it covers, what it does not, and whether it is worth having.
When a pair is fine, when it is not, and which axle they go on.
What to do, what not to do, and how the van comes to you.
The size, the codes, the label and the tyre types.
Five minute checks and the faults behind uneven wear.
The rules, the fines and the warning lights.
Vans, SUVs, electric cars, caravans and the winter question.
If you read nothing else, read these.
Across the central three quarters of the tread, all the way round. Up to £2,500 and three points per tyre below it. Wet grip falls off a cliff below 3mm, so that is where we say replace.
With the nail in, the tyre loses a little air a day and can be moved slowly to safety. Pull it out and the air goes in seconds. Three in four punctures are repairable if the tyre is not driven flat.
Not on the tyre: the sidewall figure is the maximum, not the setting. Check monthly when cold, and expect the light on the first frost, because pressure drops with temperature.
Whichever end drives the car. The rear losing grip first is what causes a spin; the front losing grip first is an understeer you can feel and correct.
A caravan or a low mileage car can be on ten year old tyres with plenty of tread. Rubber hardens and cracks in sunlight. Six years is worth a look, ten is a replacement.
Different brands front and rear are fine. Different sizes, types or patterns across one axle are not, and a mix of winter and summer on one car is worse than either.
The guides end where the van begins.
It is on the sidewall and looks like 205/55 R16. The guide on tyre size explains each part. If you cannot get to the car, the registration does the same job.
WhatsApp the size or the reg and where the car is, with a photo if there is damage. Three fitted prices come back with a real time for the van.
The fitter says which of the three they would put on their own car for the miles you do. The budget versus premium guide explains why that answer changes by car.
Home, work or the roadside, 24 hours a day. Balanced, new valve, pressures set to the door plate, nuts torqued by hand, and the old tyre taken away. No call out charge.

Got us out of an unfortunate place of a Luton van blowout, super quick helpful and fairly priced!
Stranded in a car park with no spare! Called and they came within the hour, changed the tyre and was on my way 20 minutes later. Great service, delighted they made it so easy.
Brilliant service, same day, quick and easy. Was really rushed for time and they moved things around to ensure they got to me to get it fixed. Would defo recommend
If the guide told you the tyre needs replacing, WhatsApp the size from the sidewall or the registration and your postcode. A fitted price for three tiers comes back with a time, and the van comes to you. If it did not answer your question, ask the fitter instead.
There is no out of hours rate and no waiting for the morning. Message now and we come to the car tonight.
The questions the guides get asked most, answered in short.
Sixty eight guides on buying, fitting, fixing and looking after tyres, written by the fitters who do the work rather than a content desk. They are grouped into six sets: costs and choosing, mobile fitting and emergencies, understanding the sidewall, care and maintenance, safety and the law, and tyres for particular vehicles and seasons. Each one answers a question we get asked at the car.
The most read are the ones people find at the roadside: flat tyre: what to do, nail in your tyre and tyre blowout on the motorway. Read them once when you are not stranded and they will make sense when you are.
The rest are the ones that save money over years rather than minutes: budget versus premium, how long tyres last and tyre labels explained. If a guide leaves you with a question, call 0300 124 6981 and ask the fitter.
It is moulded into the sidewall and looks like 205/55 R16 91V. The first number is the width in millimetres, the second is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, R means radial, 16 is the wheel diameter in inches, 91 is the load index and V is the speed rating. All of it has to match what the car was designed for.
The full walk through is in tyre size explained, and the two codes after the size are in speed rating and load index. The common sizes each have a page with fitted prices under tyre sizes.
If you cannot get to the car, the registration is enough: send it on WhatsApp and the size is looked up. Call 0300 124 6981 if you would rather read it out.
The good ones are. A budget tyre from a brand that publishes EU label ratings and passes the same type approval as a premium tyre is safe and legal; what you give up is wet braking distance, noise and how many miles it lasts. The bad ones, unbranded imports with poor wet grip, are the tyres the guides tell you to avoid.
The honest comparison, with the label ratings side by side, is in budget versus premium tyres, and the brands worth buying are in best budget tyre brands. Part worn tyres are a different question, answered in part worn tyres.
The fitter quotes three tiers against your size and tells you which they would fit to their own car for the miles you do. Call 0300 124 6981 for a price.
Once a month and before any long trip, which takes five minutes with a 20p coin and a pressure gauge. Tread across the full width, pressure against the figure on the door plate, sidewalls for cracks, cuts and bulges, and the spare, which is usually the oldest and softest tyre on the car. Most of the tyres we replace early were never checked.
The routine is in how to check your tyres in 5 minutes, and the pressure question is in what tyre pressure should my car be. In autumn read tyre pressure in cold weather, which explains the warning light on the first frosty morning.
A tyre that is losing pressure between checks has a reason, usually the valve or the rim seal on an alloy. See slow puncture.
1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tread, around the whole circumference. Below that the tyre is illegal, with a fine of up to £2,500 and three penalty points per tyre. Wet grip drops sharply below 3mm, so the guides recommend replacing at 3mm on a car that does motorway miles in a North West winter.
The law, the penalties and what an MOT tester looks for are in UK tyre law and failed your MOT on tyres. The wear bars that show you the limit are explained in the tyre wear indicator.
The 20p test: put the coin in the main groove and if the outer band shows above the tread, the tyre is at or near the limit. Call 0300 124 6981 and it is replaced at your door.
For most drivers on the flat, no; a good all season tyre covers a Merseyside or Manchester winter. For anyone who lives or drives regularly over the Pennines, in the Peak District, the Lakes or Snowdonia, winter tyres or a strong all season tyre make a real difference below seven degrees, which is most mornings from November to March up there.
The decision is walked through in do you need winter tyres in the UK and the three types compared in summer, winter or all season. The best of the all season tyres are in best all season tyres.
If you run a winter set, how to store tyres keeps the summer set usable. Swaps are done at your door.
Repaired, in about three out of four cases. The British Standard allows a repair when the hole is in the central three quarters of the tread, no bigger than 6mm, with no sidewall or shoulder damage, no earlier repair overlapping and tread above the legal limit. It has to be done from inside with the tyre off the rim, which is why a photo settles most cases in advance.
The rules in full are in can a punctured tyre be repaired. What to do in the meantime, and why to leave the nail in, is in nail in your tyre.
A mobile repair is £39.95 and if the tyre fails the standard you are shown why and not charged for it. See puncture repairs, or call 0300 124 6981 with a photo.
Usually the wheel alignment, knocked out by a pothole or a kerb, and sometimes a tyre pressure difference between the two sides or a tyre with a problem in its casing. Alignment out by a degree or two wears the inside or outside shoulder of a tyre bald in a few thousand miles while the rest of the tread looks fine.
The symptoms, causes and what the fitter does are in wheel alignment and tracking, and how to read the wear it causes is in why is my tyre wearing unevenly. Pothole damage that goes beyond alignment is in pothole damage to tyres and wheels.
A shake through the steering at speed is a different fault, balance rather than alignment, and is covered in wheel balancing explained. Both are done at your door.
One or more tyres is below the pressure the car expects. On a cold morning it is often just the drop that comes with the temperature and a top up clears it; if it comes back, a tyre is losing air and needs looking at. A flashing light on start up means a sensor fault rather than a pressure problem.
The light, what to do and when it is only a reset are in TPMS warning light. When a sensor itself has failed, usually the battery inside it after seven to ten years, TPMS sensor replacement covers the cost and the job.
Sensors are replaced and reset at your door with the tyre off the rim. See TPMS sensors, or call 0300 124 6981.
Two is fine if the other two have plenty of tread and are the same size and type, and the new pair goes on the rear axle, whichever end drives the car, because the rear losing grip first is what causes a spin. All four when the others are near the limit, on a four wheel drive that specifies matched tyres, or when mixing types would be unsafe.
The reasoning is in replace all four tyres or just two, and the rules on mixing brands, patterns and types on one car are in mixing tyres: legal and safe.
Two or more tyres can be spread with pay monthly at 0% interest, subject to status. See pay monthly tyres.
They need tyres rated for the weight and the torque, and most benefit from ones designed for the job: an electric car is heavier than the petrol equivalent, delivers full torque from a standstill and is quiet enough that tyre noise is the loudest thing in the cabin. Fit the wrong tyre and it wears fast and the range drops.
What to look for is in do electric cars need special tyres, and why factory tyres go early on new cars generally is in new car tyres wearing out fast. Range and rolling resistance are in fuel saving tyres.
See Tesla tyres for the commonest case, and send the registration for the exact fitment on any electric car.
Ask the fitter. WhatsApp 07943 185471 with the question and a photo if there is one, or call 0300 124 6981 free at any hour. The guides are written by the people who answer the phone, so the answer you get on the phone is the same one, applied to your car and your tyre. New guides are added when the same question comes up often enough.

If it is a tyre you need rather than an answer, send the size from the sidewall or the registration and your postcode and a fitted price comes back with a time. See mobile tyre fitting.
