Follow the next five easy steps to select the correct tyres for your vehicle .

 

Step 1

Make a note of the size of the tyre that you require by making reference to the picture.  The important information that we require is Width - Ratio - Diameter and Load / Speed Index.

If you wish to match the tyre to the ones already on your vehicle then also note the manufacturer and tyre name / model.

 Step 2

Contact your most convenient branch to you from our location map on the home page.

If you require a fitting service at a location convenient to you - contact the mobile service.

 Step 3

Give the customer advisor all the details that you obtained in step 1.  They will then provide you with a competitive quotation for your request with no hidden extras.  If you are unsure of what make of tyre you require or are seeking to purchase a tyre on a fixed budget, our advisor will give you the best advice available to siut your requirements.

 Step 4

If the quotation is acceptable to you then arrange an appointment for the fitting of the tyres.
 

Step 5
Sit back & relax in the knowledge that you have arranged for a job to be well done at a competitive price by Sheffield's premier tyre specialists.

 Combine all stages into one very efficient move by:-

Driving straight to the nearest depot and letting our service advisor suggest the most suitable tyre for your vehicle - arrange fitting there and then - drive away with all problems solved with minimum fuss and at extremely good value.

 Important Information which may assist customers

 Where should my new tyres be fitted?

Manufacturers Recommendation
Always fit new tyres to the rear of a vehicle.
Why?

 New tyres fitted in front :
- The behavior of the car will change, because the front / rear balance will be reversed.
The driver, used to a car with less grip at the front, may therefore be taken unawares.
- On a slippery road, the rear will tend to lose traction before the front of the vehicle.
The driver will have little or no chance of controlling the rear, and will be tempted to accelerate further, which will amplify the spin effect. Only an experienced driver will be able to recover from this dangerous situation.

  Legal Advice
Every tyre on a motor car must have at least 1.6mm of tread depth across the central 3/4 of the tyre tread and visble tread on the remainder of the tyre.
The picture opposite shows a tread wear indicator.  This is a small raised portion of rubber in the tread area adjacent to the arrow on the shoulder.  When this raised portion is level with the tread grooves then the tyre requires replacing

  
Manufacturers recommend replacing tyres when the tread depth gets down to 3mm.  Below this depth and the treads ability to remove water is greatly reduced.

 

   As can be seen from the graph, wet road grip falls away dramatically as a tyre wears down.  In fact there is a 60% reduction in grip between 3 and 1.6 mm tread depth.

The possibility of the vehicle aquaplaning is also increased by the same amount between these two figures.

 Too Hard / Too Soft
Correct inflation is very important in that if the tyre is under inflated then the centre of the tread tends to lift thereby reducing the contavct area between tyre and road.  If the pressure is too high then the edges of the tread lift and contact area is again lost.  There is also an adverse effect on the wear rate of the  tyre.

  

If you are in any doubt about the condition of your tyres, then call into one of our depots from free impartial advice.

We would much rather see you on at frequent intervals throughout the year and give you advice and reassurance, than read about you being involved in an accident and never seeing you again.
