Speed bumps, patched surfaces and sunken ironwork do a particular kind of harm to tyres, and it is the kind that leaves almost nothing to see. The rubber gets pinched hard between the road and the rim for an instant, cords inside the wall snap, and the outside looks much as it did before. Weeks later a bulge appears, or the tyre goes down without ever having been punctured. Around Hoxton Square and the estate roads that is the commonest cause of a tyre being written off, rather than nails. So when somebody rings about a mark, a lump or a strange noise, we come and read the tyre properly. If it is intact we put nothing on the car and you are no worse off for having asked.
Somebody usually points it out before you notice it yourself. A neighbour, a colleague in the car park, a passer-by who saw the bulge as you pulled in in Hoxton Square. We come to the car, confirm it, and fit the correct replacement where it is parked, on Hoxton Street or on a driveway, balanced and pressure-set before we leave. A Pitfield Street cul-de-sac or a Kingsland Road main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in the Charles Square area or a narrow bay on Old Street is usually workable.

The surfaces around N1 are patched, ramped and uneven, and that shows up in the tyres we are called to look at more than nails ever do. We read the tyre where it stands, give a straight answer, and only replace it when the casing has genuinely gone.
Invisible from the pavement side and found only because the driver felt a rhythmic thump through the floor. Broken cords, no repair available, replacement the same visit. The other side was checked too, since both had met the same hole.
A wheel scraped along a raised edge while pulling in. The alloy looked worse than the tyre, and the tyre turned out to be sound once we had a proper look at the wall. Nothing was sold and the car carried on.
A car that mostly sits still, with fine cracks spreading across both front walls. Tread depth was fine and the tyres were finished all the same. We laid it out plainly and the owner chose when to act.
No. Pressure holding steady tells you the tyre is not leaking, not that it is sound. A bulge is structural failure with the air still in, which is exactly why it catches people out.
A regular thump that keeps time with wheel speed, or a new hum that changes when you lift off. Both are worth looking at, and neither costs you anything to describe over the phone.
Easily. A bad edge taken at low speed can break cords with barely a bump felt through the wheel. The damage shows up later, which is why the inspection covers the entire wall rather than only the spot you point at.
On the same axle, usually, if the difference in tread is significant. If the remaining tyre is close in wear, one is fine and we will say so.
Then that is the verdict. We are not paid by the tyre and there is no advantage to us in inventing a fault. Plenty of these visits end with nothing being fitted.
