Found a bulge, cut or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was standing and wondering if it will get you where you are going? This kind of damage is usually spotted at rest, a lump you catch loading up at Mereside, a split you notice walking back to the car on Fountain Lane, or a gouge left after a hard kerb knock near Qua Fen. Do not chance it holding. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it is driveable or done.
Found a bulge, cut or cracked sidewall on a tyre while the car was standing and wondering if it will get you where you are going?

Do not chance it holding. We come to the car and give you an honest verdict on whether it is driveable or done.
The difficult truth is that sidewall and shoulder damage cannot 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, and a deep cut or a perished, cracked sidewall is just as serious. When that is the finding, we tell you plainly and fit a replacement from the van in the right size where the car sits. If it is only shallow scuffing that has not reached the structure, we will say it is fine and will not sell you a tyre you do not need. The grit and debris thrown up by farm traffic on the local lanes are hard on tyres out here, and a knock you hardly noticed can leave damage that only shows as a bulge later. Whatever we find, you get a straight answer and, where it is needed, a new tyre fitted on the spot.
The fen lanes around Soham, including the B1102 and B1104, throw up grit and debris from farm traffic that is tough on sidewalls, and a knock you barely felt near Mereside or Qua Fen can crack a tyre without an obvious mark. We come to the parked car, judge the damage honestly and, where it is needed, replace on the spot so a suspect tyre never gets driven on.
The broken tyre replacement situations Soham drivers call us out to most:
A driver clipped a kerb hard near Qua Fen and found a sidewall bulge the next day. We confirmed it was unsafe and fitted a replacement on the drive.
An older car around Mereside had deep cracking along the sidewall. We explained why it could not be repaired and changed it where it stood.
A driver on Fountain Lane noticed a gash in the tread shoulder. 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 Soham, including A142, A1123, B1102 and more, day and night.
No. A bulge near Qua Fen means the internal cords have gone and the tyre could burst without warning. Leave the car and we will come out and replace it.
Unfortunately not. Cracked and perished sidewalls at Mereside sit outside the safe repair area, so that tyre needs replacing rather than patching.
It does. Farm traffic on the B1102 and B1104 throws up grit and debris that is hard on sidewalls, so a cut you find at rest is worth us checking properly.
Not necessarily. If the mark on Fountain Lane has not reached the tyre's structure we will say it is fine. Only genuine sidewall or shoulder damage means a replacement.
We stock common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes on the van, so most damaged tyres around Soham are matched and changed on the spot without a garage trip.

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.
