Found a bulge, split or deep cut in a tyre while the car was standing and wondering if it's safe to drive off? Damage like this is nearly always spotted at rest, a lump you notice loading up on a Cowley terrace, a gash you catch walking back to the car in Iffley, or a gouge left after a hard kerb knock on the Summertown parade. Don't chance it holding together. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it's driveable or done.

The difficult truth is that sidewall and shoulder damage can't be repaired safely, no matter how small it looks. A bulge means the cords inside have already gone and the tyre could let go without warning; a deep cut or a cracked, perished sidewall is just as serious. When that's the finding we tell you plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the right size where the car sits, matched to the size, speed rating and load rating the vehicle specifies. If it's only shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say it's fine and won't sell you a tyre you don't need. Oxford's narrow terraced parking and the kerb strikes on the ring-road roundabouts are hard on sidewalls, and a knock you barely registered can leave damage that only shows as a bulge later. Whatever we find, you get a straight answer and, where it's needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot.
Oxford's narrow terraced parking in Cowley and Jericho and the kerb strikes on the A4142 ring-road roundabouts are tough on sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt 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 in even the tightest spaces.
The broken tyre replacement situations Oxford drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard on a Cowley terrace and found a sidewall bulge the next day. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement without shuffling the car far.
An older car in Iffley had deep cracking along the sidewall. We explained why it couldn't be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver in Summertown noticed a gash in the tread shoulder while loading up. 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 Oxford, including A34, A40, A4142 ring road and more, day and night.
No. A bulge means the internal structure has failed and the tyre can blow at any time, so leave it on the Cowley terrace and we'll come across Oxford to replace it.
Unfortunately not. Cracked and perished sidewalls sit outside the safe repair area, so a tyre like that in Iffley needs replacing rather than mending.
Yes. A kerb strike on the A4142 roundabouts can damage a sidewall internally with little to see outside, so we'll inspect it and give you a clear verdict.
Yes. We fit to the size, speed rating and load rating your vehicle specifies, so the new tyre is a proper match, not just the right diameter.
We will. If it's only shallow scuffing that hasn't reached the structure, we'll say the Summertown tyre is fine rather than sell you one you don't need.
Yes. We provide mobile broken tyre replacement right across Oxford, Oxfordshire including Cowley, Headington, Jericho, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Rohan came so quickly, within the hour, and was decent and professional changing 2 tyres, giving a mum of 5 real peace of mind at a reasonable price. Excellent communication too.
Used this company in 2022 and again in 2024. Fantastic. Very competitive pricing, great communication, and they replaced my tyres on my front drive. Hands down better than my local garage.
Excellent service, super fast! I had a rental car and a screw got stuck in the side of the tyre. They sorted it on the spot.
