Well Hall Road, the High Street and the residential turnings behind them are all tight enough at the kerb that wheels get scraped regularly, usually while somebody is posting the car into the last space on the road. That is the starting point for most of what we are asked to look at across SE9. The alloy picks up a visible scar and the tyre picks up a squeeze between the rim and the concrete, which shows nothing at all until it becomes a soft swelling on the wall a fortnight later.
A swelling like that is parted cords and the end of that tyre. Nothing repairs that, nothing monitors it safely, and it will not see out the month. Everything else takes more of a look. A cut becomes serious once it has opened as far as the fabric beneath the rubber, and not before. Hard, finely cracked walls point to age rather than mileage, and they turn up on second cars and on spares that have lived under a boot floor since the vehicle was new. What an inspection should give you is a plain verdict in either direction, including the one where nothing is wrong and you pay for nothing.
A bulge in a sidewall is a tyre telling you the casing has already failed. What we can do is come to Eltham, confirm what you are looking at, and fit the correct replacement on the spot, whether the car is on a driveway in Eltham Park or parked up in New Eltham. Steep camber in Avery Hill? We move a few metres, Mottingham or anywhere else. Blocked drive in Avery Hill? Open kerb in Mottingham? Either works.

Cars in SE9 rack up their damage in two very different ways: fast miles on the dual carriageway that wear tread evenly, and slow kerb contact in the side streets that hurts one shoulder at a time. Uneven wear across a single tyre is usually the second of those, and worth mentioning when we look.
Found on a school-run car with most of its tread remaining. The owner had assumed it was a bubble in the paint of the wheel. A broken belt was the answer, and the car had carried it at dual carriageway speed for weeks. Changed the same visit.
A wheel put hard into a kerb outside a house near Avery Hill. The rim carried a fresh scar and the owner assumed the tyre must be finished. There was no swelling, the bead had stayed seated and nothing had opened through to the fabric, so the tyre stayed on the car.
A car whose spare had sat untouched since it was new. Full tread, no wear, and both faces of the wall covered in fine cracks. A spare in that condition is worse than no spare, because it fails at exactly the moment you are relying on it.
It cannot. The casing has come apart internally and no patch addresses that. The only correct answer is a new tyre, and the sooner the better.
If it was hard enough to mark the wheel, yes. The pinch damage sits inside the tyre where you will see nothing from the outside until it starts to show.
Not usually. Scoring that stays within the rubber is cosmetic. The moment cord is visible in the bottom of the cut, the tyre is finished regardless of how small it looks.
The middle three quarters of the tread must not drop below 1.6mm anywhere around the tyre. Wet braking suffers a long way above that figure, so the legal limit is a floor, not a target.
No. Plenty of these visits end with a verdict of no damage and no invoice, which is most of the reason our Google score sits at 4.9.
