The use of nitrogen to fill your tyres as opposed to compressed air ensures that your tyre pressure stays at the recommended threshold for a greater period. This is due to the rate at which nitrogen passes through the walls of your tyres (which is considerably slower than oxygen) meaning your tyres stay at their optimum pressure for longer.
For your convenience we can fit tyres same day. Simply add same day fitting to your basket. Please note that same day fitting applies to tyre purchases only.
Since November 2012 all new vehicles are fitted with a TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. Let us check the health of your TPMS system. We'll let you know if any of your valves need replacing or if there are any other issues that need to be rectified.
Driving over a foreign object can result in a reduction in tyre pressure and eventually a completely flat tyre. Depending on the damage some tyres can be repaired. **This excludes run flat tyres**
The Tyre Check service inspects the condition of your tyres including wear and any damage sustained.
Ensure that yourself and your car are safe on the road by bringing your vehicle in for a health check. We thoroughly examine various areas of your vehicle including tyre pressure and oil checks amongst others and highlight any causes for concern to put your mind at ease.
The simple act of banging a kerb or hitting a pothole can skew your wheel alignment. Poorly aligned wheels result in irregular and accelerated tyre wear and can affect the handling and safety of your vehicle. Let us give you peace of mind and ensure you get the maximum wear from your new tyres by ensuring the wheels are correctly aligned. Please note that the price shown is for four wheel alignment.
If your wheel balance is incorrect, this will cause vibration in the steering wheel and dashboard as well as prematurely wearing your tyres and suspension parts. Over time, bumps and cornering will affect your wheel balance so it is recommended to have them balanced regularly. This is for the front wheels only
