Complete Guide to Car Tyres
Your tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road, making them critical for safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. Whether you need new tyres fitted, a puncture repaired, wheel alignment corrected, or wheel balancing carried out, choosing the right tyre centre ensures the job is done properly and safely. Tyre tread depth, pressure, and condition are also checked during your MOT — so keeping on top of tyre maintenance helps you pass first time. Our directory lists tyre fitting centres across the UK so you can compare prices, brands, and reviews in your area.
Tips for Choosing a Tyre Fitting Centre
- Check your tread depth regularly — the legal minimum in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, but grip drops significantly below 3mm
- Know your tyre size before you call — the size is printed on the sidewall (e.g. 205/55 R16) and knowing it helps you compare prices accurately
- Compare premium, mid-range, and budget brands — premium tyres like Michelin and Continental offer better grip and longevity, but quality mid-range options can be excellent value
- Ask about wheel alignment when fitting new tyres — misalignment causes uneven wear and can shorten tyre life significantly, so it is worth checking
- Check whether a puncture can be repaired or needs replacement — not all punctures are repairable, but a good tyre shop will assess honestly rather than pushing a new sale
- Book tyre fitting with balancing included — unbalanced wheels cause vibration at speed and uneven wear, so balancing should always be part of the fitting

Top tip: The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm, but most safety experts recommend replacing your tyres at 3mm. Below 3mm, braking distances in wet conditions increase dramatically — by up to 44% compared to new tyres. Check your tread monthly with a 20p coin: if the outer band of the coin is visible, your tread is getting low.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I replace my car tyres and how do I check tread depth?
Use the 20p coin test: insert it into the main tread grooves — if the outer band is visible, your tread is below 3mm and you should book new tyres soon. The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm, but braking distances increase dramatically below 3mm, especially in wet conditions. Also replace tyres showing cracks, bulges, or uneven wear.
How much does it cost to buy and fit new tyres near me?
Budget tyres cost around £40-£60 per tyre fitted, mid-range options £60-£100, and premium brands like Michelin, Continental, or Pirelli £80-£150+. The price depends on your tyre size — check the sidewall for the code (e.g. 205/55 R16). Fitting usually includes balancing and a new valve. Use our directory to compare tyre fitting centres near you.
How much does wheel alignment cost and how often do I need it?
Wheel alignment (also called tracking) typically costs £30-£60 for a front-axle check or £50-£90 for a four-wheel alignment. You should get it checked every 12 months, after hitting a pothole or kerb, or whenever you notice your car pulling to one side. Misalignment causes uneven tyre wear and can significantly shorten tyre life.
Can a tyre puncture be repaired or do I need to buy a new tyre?
A puncture can usually be repaired if the damage is in the central tread area and the hole is smaller than 6mm. Punctures in the sidewall, shoulder, or near the bead cannot be safely fixed and require a new tyre. A puncture repair typically costs £15-£30, compared to the cost of a full replacement. A reputable tyre shop will assess honestly before recommending either option.
