An MOT tester will fail a tyre for a bulge, a cut deep enough to reach the cords, exposed structure or tread below the legal minimum. Those are the rules, and they are worth knowing before you either panic or ignore something. Plenty of what looks alarming is cosmetic, and plenty of what looks minor is not. A swelling on the sidewall is the one that ends the argument straight away: the casing has failed internally and no repair exists for it. A scuffed shoulder from a kerb usually means nothing. We come out, look at it properly and tell you which side of that line you are on.
Parallel parking damages more tyres than potholes do. Anywhere with tight kerbside bays, Westoning Road included, produces a steady supply of scuffed sidewalls. If it has gone too far, we bring the right size and fit it where the car is parked, in Greenfield or anywhere else in Flitwick, balanced and pressure-set, with no tow and no garage booking. You watch it happen in Maulden Road, or at the kerb in Greenfield. Same tools in the Station area as in Denel Close, same on every call.

The lanes around Flitwick are hard on tyres: broken edges, narrow passing places and a lot of kerb work when two cars meet. We come out to look at the damage where it sits and give you a straight answer on whether it has had it.
A hard hit into a broken edge, then a bulge appearing on the sidewall a fortnight later. Deep tread, plenty of life left, and none of that mattered once the cords had gone.
Something in the lane had opened a neat cut across the tread face. Measured, it had stopped well short of the belts, so the tyre stayed on the car and the owner kept his money.
A second car used for the school run and little else, parked outside since new. Fine cracking covered both front sidewalls. Rubber ages on the drive as well as on the road.
Yes, immediately, and it is a genuine safety risk rather than a technicality. The tyre has already partly failed and only pressure is holding its shape.
That is most of what this call is. If it is serviceable you will be told so and we leave. Selling somebody rubber they did not need is not worth a bad review.
Punctures in the central portion of the tread, sealed from inside to BS AU 159. Cuts, splits, bulges and anything in the sidewall cannot be.
A 20p coin works. If the outer band of the coin disappears into the groove you are above the limit. Below 1.6mm in the middle section and the car is illegal.
We do. A kerb strike heavy enough to gouge a rim has normally caught the bead as well, which tends to surface weeks afterwards as a slow puncture nobody can account for.
