Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was parked and unsure whether it's safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up on St John Street, a split you see walking back to a bay off Liverpool Road, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike near Chapel Market. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
Spotted a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was parked and unsure whether it's safe to drive? Most of the time this kind of damage gets noticed at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up on St John Street, a split you see walking back to a bay off Liverpool Road, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike near Chapel Market. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
The part people don't want to hear is that sidewall and shoulder damage can't be repaired safely, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is the same story. When that's what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where the car's parked. If it turns out to be shallow surface marking that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't sell you a tyre you don't need. Angel's tight kerbs and the constant squeeze for a space along Upper Street take a steady toll on sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt can leave hidden damage. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot without a garage trip. We're across N1 day and night.
The tight kerbs and constant scramble for a space along Upper Street and Essex Road catch plenty of sidewalls around Angel, and a hard knock against a kerb near Chapel Market can crack a tyre without leaving an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it's needed, replace on the spot so a dodgy tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Angel drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard near Chapel Market and found a bulge in the sidewall the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement at the kerb.
An older car on St John Street had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up in a bay off Liverpool Road noticed a gash in the tread shoulder. We checked it, judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Angel, including Pentonville Road (A501), City Road (A501), Upper Street (A1) and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the cords inside have failed and the tyre can burst at any time. Leave it in the bay off Liverpool Road and we'll come out to replace it.
It is. A knock near Chapel Market can damage a sidewall internally with nothing to see outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict before you rely on it.
Unfortunately not. Cracks and splits in the sidewall or shoulder sit outside the safe repair area, so that tyre needs a replacement whatever the tread still looks like.
Yes. If a mark spotted on St John Street is just surface scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine rather than sell you a tyre you don't need.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes, so most tyres condemned around N1 are matched and fitted at the kerb without a garage trip.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
