Frequently Asked Questions
- Are part-worn tyres legal in the UK?
- Yes—if they meet legal standards: minimum 1.6mm tread across the central ¾ of the tyre, no exposed cords or significant damage, and clear “PART-WORN” marking. We inspect and pressure-test every part-worn tyre before sale.
- Do you offer same-day tyre fitting?
- Most days, yes. We stock popular sizes for same-day fitting. Call us to check your size before you set off.
- New vs part-worn—what should I choose?
- New tyres give maximum lifespan and manufacturer warranty. Part-worn is a budget-friendly option for short-term use or end-of-lease. We’ll show you both options and let you decide.
- How do I find my tyre size?
- It’s printed on the tyre sidewall (e.g., 205/55 R16 91V). You can also check your fuel flap or driver’s door sticker. Unsure? Send us a photo via WhatsApp and we’ll confirm.
- Do you do wheel balancing and puncture repairs?
- Yes. All tyres we fit are balanced, and we carry out safe, industry-standard puncture repairs where appropriate.
