Tyres work in pairs, and that is the part drivers usually have not been told. Two tyres on the same axle with visibly different tread depths behave differently under braking, and on a wet descent that difference shows up as the back of the car doing something you did not ask it to. So the question is not only whether a damaged tyre needs replacing, it is what its partner looks like.
When we come out to look at a suspect tyre in Amersham, both ends of that axle get measured. If the survivor has plenty left, one tyre goes on and that is the end of it. If it is close to the limit anyway, you get told that honestly and you decide. What we will not do is quietly replace a good tyre or quietly ignore a bad one. The gradients between Old Amersham in the valley and the streets up on the Hill are enough to make that pairing worth thinking about properly.
Sometimes it is the wheel rather than the tyre. So when we come out in Amersham the wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, and both get inspected before anything else is said. Boxed in on a Quill Hall terrace or wide open in Chestnut Lane, say which on the phone. Tight in Chestnut Lane, easy in Stanley Hill: neither stops the job.

Amersham is really two towns joined by a hill, with the old High Street down in the valley and the newer streets up around the station, and the roads between them are steep enough to expose an uneven axle in the wet. That is why a damaged tyre here is worth assessing alongside its partner rather than in isolation. We measure both, give you the numbers, and fit only what the car actually needs.
A car off Chestnut Lane had a cut front tyre and a partner nearly down to the bars. Both were replaced together rather than leaving a mismatched axle.
A tyre in Quill Hall had a bulge and its partner was almost new. One replacement went on and the good tyre was left alone.
A kerb on Stanley Hill opened a sidewall. The tyre was condemned, the axle was measured, and the driver was given the numbers before deciding.
Not always. It matters when the tread depths on one axle differ a lot, because braking and grip become uneven. We measure both and tell you which situation you are actually in.
Yes. A bulge means the cords have broken inside the tyre. There is no repair for it, and it can let go without warning on a descent like the drop into Old Amersham.
No. If the partner tyre is sound we fit one and leave the other. You get the tread readings from both so the decision is yours rather than ours.
We will glance at it and mention anything obvious, but we will not condemn tyres that are doing their job. An honest look costs nothing and keeps the advice worth having.
Yes. Fitting up at the station on the Hill is straightforward, so a car left there for the day can be sorted while you are away from it.
