There are two ways to get a damaged tyre wrong and they cost very differently. Replace one that was perfectly serviceable and you are out the price of a tyre. Keep one with broken cords in the sidewall and you find out about it at speed on Seven Sisters Road. Neither is a good outcome, and the only thing standing between them is somebody competent actually looking at the tyre.
That is what this call is for. We come to the car, take the wheel off where the answer is not obvious from outside, and give a verdict you can act on. A bulge is a broken casing and it goes, with no argument to be had. A cut is judged on depth and on whether cord is showing. A kerb scuff that has taken the lettering off and done nothing else is cosmetic, and a great many of them are. Perished, cracking rubber on an older set is a genuine reason to change even with tread remaining. Pothole damage is common here, and so are cars where one wheel took a heavy hit and the tyre quietly failed inside while looking entirely normal. You get told which of those you have and what anything will cost before it starts.
You will get a straight driveable-or-not answer before anything else happens. A broken tyre is usually a slow discovery rather than a bang: a kerb strike, a pothole on a road like the A1, a cut picked up who knows where, a bulge spotted while it sat parked up in Tufnell Park. Whether it is Tufnell Park in rush hour or Caledonian Road at midnight, we answer. On Camden Road, day or night, Nag's Head included, arrival across N7 runs 30 to 60 minutes.

Road surface is the main enemy in N7. Bus routes get patched rather than rebuilt, ironwork sinks below the tarmac around it, and cars here take those hits constantly at low speed. Damage of that sort shows up as bulges and internal failures rather than punctures, which is the kind nobody notices until it counts. If a wheel has taken a bang on Camden Road or up towards Highgate, it is worth ten minutes of somebody's attention.
A wheel went into a broken patch of road hard, and a swelling showed itself on the sidewall the following day. The two events are connected even though nothing seemed to happen at the time. That casing was already broken internally, so it came off, and the rest of the set was looked over while the jack was under.
A driver in Lower Holloway had scraped an alloy badly while parallel parking and the wheel looked dreadful. The tyre had no cut, no swelling and an intact shoulder. We said so and left it on, which is precisely what an inspection is for.
Wear concentrated on the inner edges is not a tyre fault, it is geometry. We change whatever has to be changed and then point at the cause, because a fresh pair on untouched alignment will look exactly the same again in a few thousand miles.
A sidewall bulge is broken casing cord and the tyre is finished. A raised patch in the tread is usually the belts separating, which is equally terminal. Neither is something to keep driving on.
Easily. A hard, square edged impact pinches the tyre against the rim and breaks the cords inside without letting any air escape. That is exactly why it still looks right and still holds pressure while being unsafe.
Yes, and it takes a couple of minutes. Uneven wear, age cracking and low tread at the back all turn up on cars doing short local journeys, and it is better to know than to find out.
Then nothing gets changed. You hear what we can see and why it matters, and the decision remains yours. Nothing happens without the cost being agreed first.
No, tyres are what we do. But if a rim is bent or gouged where the bead seals, it will not hold air properly, and that is worth knowing before you buy a tyre to put on it.
