Mobile Tyre Fitting guides

Plain-English advice to help you understand the problem and choose the right help.

• How to read your tyre size
  How to read the numbers on your tyre sidewall: width, aspect ratio, rim size, load index and speed rating, and where to find the size for your car.
• Tyre tread depth and the UK legal limit
  The UK legal minimum tyre tread depth is 1.6 mm. How to check it with a 20p coin or a gauge, what the fine is and why replacing earlier is safer.
• Mobile tyre fitting or a garage?
  How mobile tyre fitting works, what you need to provide, and when a garage visit makes more sense. A fair comparison, not a sales pitch.
• Puncture: repair or replace?
  When a puncture can be repaired and when the tyre has to be replaced: where the damage is, how big it is, and why a plug alone is not a proper repair.
• Tyre pressure and monthly checks
  How to check your tyre pressure and condition once a month: where to find the right pressure, why cold tyres matter and what to look for.
