Spotted a bulge, cut or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was parked and unsure whether it's safe to drive off? Damage like this is nearly always caught at a standstill, a lump you notice walking back to the car on an EC1V side street, a split you catch loading up off City Road, or a gouge left after a hard kerb knock near the Old Street Roundabout. Don't gamble on it holding. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done, then take card on the spot.

The part people don't want to hear is that sidewall and shoulder damage can't be repaired safely, however minor it looks. A bulge tells you the cords inside have already failed and the tyre could let go without warning; a deep cut or a cracked, perished sidewall carries the same risk. When that's the finding we say so plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the correct size, right where the car sits. If it's only shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll tell you it's fine and won't push a sale you don't need. The tight City parking around Old Street is hard on sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt kerbing into a space can crack a tyre without an obvious mark. Whatever we find, you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot, warranted for two years.
The tight kerbs and packed parking around the Old Street Roundabout and City Road catch plenty of sidewalls, and a knock while 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, warranted for two years and paid by card.
The broken tyre replacement situations Old Street drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped the kerb hard parking near the Old Street Roundabout and found a sidewall bulge the next morning. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement where it stood.
An older car on an EC1V side street had deep cracking along the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it at the kerb.
A driver off City Road noticed a gash in the tread shoulder while loading the boot. We judged it beyond saving and fitted a new tyre on the spot.
We also attend roadside broken tyre replacement on the main routes through Old Street, including A501 (Old Street), City Road (A501), Great Eastern Street and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the structure has already failed and the tyre can blow at any time, so leave it near the Old Street Roundabout and we'll come across EC1V to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Cracked and perished sidewalls sit outside the safe repair area, so a tyre like that on an EC1V street needs replacing rather than mending.
Yes. Tight City parking off City Road can damage a sidewall internally with little to see outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
We will. If it's only shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say it's fine rather than sell you a tyre you don't need.
Yes. Any new tyre we fit carries a two-year manufacturer warranty, balanced on the wheel and settled by card on the spot in EC1V.

Absolutely amazing service. They turned up promptly and got the wheel changed within 20 minutes. The pricing was also very reasonable and transparent.
Absolutely fantastic service! I called Fast Tyre urgently needing a tyre replaced and Abdul arrived quickly and put my mind at ease.
I clipped the kerb when parking, damaging the wall of my tyre. I contacted Fast Tyre at 21:37 and by 23:40 I had a new tyre fitted. Excellent service and both boys were friendly and efficient.
