There is a widespread assumption that a tyre holding air is a tyre doing its job. It is not true, and on a road like the Western Avenue it is an expensive assumption. Impact damage from a pothole or a piece of debris breaks the cords inside the casing while the rubber outside carries on looking ordinary. The tyre then holds pressure right up to the moment it does not, usually at the worst possible speed. Our job on these visits is to look properly and give you the verdict either way: sound, or finished.
Most damaged tyres are not dramatic. They come from a kerb taken slightly too fast on Oldfield Lane, a pothole nobody saw, or a bulge noticed while walking back to the car in Greenford Green. The the Westway industrial area phone and the Sudbury Hill phone ring the same fitter, any hour. Midnight in Perivale, midday in Ravenor Park, the same call either way.

Between the debris on the fast roads and the potholes on the local ones, impact damage is what we see most in UB6. Looking at the tyre where the car sits, whether that is Perivale or the streets off Whitton Avenue West, beats trying to judge a bulge from a photograph.
A car in Greenford Green with a swelling on the inner sidewall that the owner had not spotted because it faced away from the pavement. The cords had parted. It was replaced immediately, and the other side was checked while we were there.
Something sharp off the A40 had opened a slice deep enough to expose the belt underneath. Once cords are visible there is nothing to discuss, so the correct size went on and the damaged one came away with us.
A little used car near Sudbury Hill with fine cracking across both front sidewalls and plenty of tread. Rubber ages on its own. We explained why the tread reading was misleading, and the owner replaced them on that basis rather than on ours.
Both, and the emergency part matters more. The casing has already failed and it gives no notice whatever when it goes, so leave the car alone, including the short run to Northolt.
Yes. The damage from a pinch often sits on the inner face where you cannot see it without turning the wheel or getting underneath. It takes a couple of minutes to rule out.
They mean the rubber has gone hard, and hard rubber gives up wet grip however much tread sits above the 1.6mm minimum. It is a genuine reason to replace a tyre.
No. Telling drivers their rubber is sound is a routine part of this job, and it is the reason our name gets passed round locally more than any advert would manage.
Yes. The fitments that suit cars, SUVs and 4x4s are with us already, balanced and mounted where you are parked, at a figure you approved, with the ruined one removed.
