Confirm the fit

A tyre is only as good as the fit. A rushed fit — wrong valve, no balance, over-torqued nuts — will vibrate, leak or wear unevenly within a few hundred miles. Proper tools and 10 extra minutes save a tyre.
- Pop back for a free retorque after 50 miles if you'd like the reassurance
- New tyres need ~200 miles of gentle driving to bed in
- Recheck cold pressures weekly for the first month
Can I supply my own tyres?+
Yes — fit-only from £20 per wheel including valve, balance and disposal. Just make sure they're the right size and DOT-dated within the last 3 years.
Do you fit run-flats?+
Yes, on any car whose OE specification includes them. We'll advise against fitting run-flats to a car that wasn't designed for them.
How long for a set of four?+
Typically 45–60 minutes at our shop including balancing.
