When to change your tyres
- Tread close to or below the 1.6 mm UK legal minimum
- Cracks in the sidewall or tread
- Bulges or bumps on the side of the tyre
- Uneven wear, or a tyre that keeps losing air
- A change of season, from summer to winter tyres or back
How a mobile tyre change works
Check
We inspect your tyres and tell you what we find.
Swap
The old tyres come off and the new ones go on.
Tidy up
We set the pressures and remove the old tyres.
Checking your tread yourself
The legal minimum tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6 mm across the central three quarters of the tyre, all the way round. A tread depth gauge is the accurate way to check. If you are not sure, ask us to look.
Change tyres sooner than the legal limit if you drive a lot in the wet. Worn tyres take longer to stop in rain.
Common questions
Do you take away the old tyres?
Yes, we take your old tyres with us when we finish.
Can you change tyres for the season?
Yes. Tell us whether you have a separate set of wheels or need new tyres fitted to your existing ones.
What happens if I drive on illegal tyres?
Tyres below the legal limit or with serious damage can fail an MOT and can lead to a fine and penalty points. They are also less safe, especially in the wet.
