Cobbled corners, granite kerbs on tight one-ways and a delivery stopped exactly where the sightline should be: this is a hard postcode on wheels, and harder still on the tyres wrapped around them. Most damage assessments we carry out here begin with an alloy that has been kissed by a kerb while somebody threaded a car out of a narrow turning. The scrape on the rim is not the interesting part. What matters is whether the casing was pinched at the same instant, because a bruise there breaks cords quietly and only announces itself weeks later as a bulge. We take the wheel off, read both faces and the inside, and tell you whether the tyre is finished or fine. Often enough it is fine, and you keep your money.
A cut from road debris is the one that catches out careful drivers. Where it is beyond repair, the replacement goes on at the car in Clerkenwell Green, balanced, pressures set, old tyre taken away. Old tyres leave the Amwell Street area, Exmouth Market and EC1R with us, every time. You watch it happen in Exmouth Market, or at the kerb in St John Street. EC1R takes in St John Street and Farringdon Road, and we work the lot.

Tight turns, high kerbs and a lot of very close manoeuvring make impact damage the standard story in EC1 rather than the exception. Because that harm hides on the inner face and inside the casing, the only honest assessment involves taking the wheel off where the car is parked, whether that is Clerkenwell Green, a yard off St John Street or the Farringdon Road side of the district.
The driver could not think of any impact worth mentioning, which is normal, because the hit that breaks the cords is rarely the one you remember. The swelling had appeared on the outer wall and there was no argument to be had about it. Replaced the same visit.
A car that lives in tight bays had rash on three wheels and the owner assumed the tyres were as bad. They were not. Both faces of each casing were checked and every one was intact, so the wheels went back on and nothing was sold.
Found on a tyre that had been repeatedly kerbed on the same side over a long period. The damage sat where the tyre meets the rim, so it was invisible with the wheel on the car and it was leaking slowly. That one had to be replaced.
Urgent. It is the one finding we would ask you not to drive on, because the fabric underneath has already given way and nothing is containing the air except a skin of rubber that was never asked to do it.
Building site debris, potholes at the edge of worn tarmac and drain covers standing proud of the surface. All three are impacts rather than punctures, and impact harm shows up inside the casing where you cannot inspect it.
We will show you, on the tyre, and explain what you are looking at. If the verdict is replacement you should be able to see why, not simply be told.
It means something else needs attention, usually alignment or pressures. The tyre may still be legal and safe today, but it is wearing out faster than it should and you will get through another one soon if the cause stays unfixed.
Not at all. A look that ends with good news is a perfectly good outcome, and it is the reason people ring us again the year after when the news is worse.
