Found a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was parked and wondering if it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this damage gets noticed at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up in Clarendon Park, a split you see walking back to a space in Wigston, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike in Aylestone. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
Found a bulge, gash or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was parked and wondering if it's still safe to drive? Most of the time this damage gets noticed at a standstill, a lump you catch loading up in Clarendon Park, a split you see walking back to a space in Wigston, or a chunk taken out after a hard kerb strike in Aylestone. Don't chance it. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.
The hard truth with sidewall and shoulder damage is that it can't be repaired safely, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could let go without warning, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is the same story. If that's what we find, we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size right where you're parked. If the damage turns out to be shallow marking that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't sell you a tyre you don't need. Leicester's kerbed side streets and the constant nose-to-tail parking around Evington and Belgrave catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely registered can leave damage that only surfaces as a bulge later. Either way you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot without a trip to a garage. We're across the city day and night.
The kerbed terraces around Clarendon Park and the tight, nose-to-tail parking near Belgrave and Evington catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt squeezing into a space can crack a tyre without an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it's needed, replace on the spot so a suspect tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Leicester drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard in Aylestone and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car in Wigston had deep cracking across the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver loading up in Clarendon Park noticed a gash in the tread shoulder. We checked it, judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Leicester, including M1 (J21–22), M69, A6 and more, day and night.
No. A bulge in Clarendon Park means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could let go without warning, so leave the car and we'll come out and replace it.
Unfortunately not. Sidewall and shoulder damage is outside the safe repair area, so the deep cracking we often find on older cars around Wigston always needs a new tyre.
Yes. An Aylestone kerb strike can damage a sidewall internally with little to see outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a straight driveable-or-done verdict.
We will. If it's only shallow surface marking around Evington that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say the tyre is fine rather than sell you one you don't need.
We carry the common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes, so most tyres condemned near Belgrave are swapped for the right match on the spot, right where you're parked.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Leicester, Leicestershire including Clarendon Park, Aylestone, Belgrave, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Typical arrival in Leicester is 30–60 minutes from dispatch, day or night, depending on traffic. We give you a live ETA the moment the van sets off.

Called at 10am, the fitter arrived with Bridgestone tyres at 10:45am and was finished by 11:15am. Very reasonably priced and great communication, would definitely use again.
