A blowout on the A14, with lorries and commuters running fast around you, is one of the most frightening things that can happen on a St Ives journey. At speed a burst tyre drags the car hard to one side, and the safe response is to ease off the accelerator, keep a firm grip, and bring it to a controlled stop as far left as you can. The A1123 and A1096 demand the same calm hands.

Fast Tyre runs an emergency roadside service for exactly these moments, covering the A14, the A1123, the A1096 and the roads around St Ives. Our mobile units carry a wide spread of stock, so when we reach you on the hard shoulder or the verge near Hemingford we can usually fit the correct replacement straight away. Get behind the barrier, switch on your hazards, and call us with your junction or marker post number while you wait somewhere safe.
The A14 past St Ives is a major freight corridor where a burst at speed leaves you exposed among heavy lorries, while the A1123 links fast village runs. The units we dispatch carry a deliberately wide stock spread to fit roadside emergencies first time rather than relaying you onward to a distant garage.
The burst tyre replacement situations St Ives drivers call us out to most:
A high-speed burst on the A14 leaves you exposed to fast freight traffic. We treat these as priority call-outs, reaching the hard shoulder quickly with a matching tyre on board.
The A1123 carries traffic at pace between the villages, and a burst here is dangerous to change yourself. We attend the roadside, fit a replacement and get you safely moving.
A hard kerb hit on the narrow lanes around Houghton can split a sidewall instantly. We come to where you have stopped and fit a sound tyre so you are not stranded.

I used their service to fix a punctured tyre. They arrived within 45 minutes and replaced my tyre. Highly recommend for urgent tyre service.
So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.
Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.
