Mobile Tyre Fitting in Clapham

Why Clapham drivers call Fast Tyre

Clapham is arranged around its Common, a large triangle of grass with a main road on every side. The A3 runs along the north side and down Clapham High Street towards Stockwell, the A24 takes the south side towards Balham, and the South Circular (A205) comes in from the south, crosses the A24 at the bottom corner and follows the west side up to the A3. Clapham Common and Clapham South stations sit at the two eastern corners, Clapham North is further up the High Street, and the High Street stays busy late into the night.

Away from the main roads, the Old Town, Abbeville Village and the streets between the Common and Clapham Park are Victorian and Edwardian terraces under permit control, with every bay taken in the evening. Summer events on the Common bring extra cars and closures around the edge of the grass. Kerbing on those narrow streets and slow punctures picked up on the High Street are what we deal with most here.

From our North London base we are normally with you in 30 to 60 minutes, at any time of day or night. The van comes to the car, whether that is a bay in the Old Town, a driveway in Clapham Park or a side road you have turned into off the Common.

The roads around the Common are the ones to be careful on. They look like ordinary town roads but carry fast, heavy traffic, with bus lanes and very few places to pull in. If a tyre goes on the North Side, South Side or West Side, turn into the nearest residential street instead of stopping on the Common road itself, and call us from there. A short, slow drive to a safe street is better than stopping in a live lane, but going much further than that will usually ruin a tyre that could otherwise have been repaired.

Tyre services in Clapham

Clapham jobs are mostly done in a residents' bay with a car in front and behind, so we work from the pavement side and keep the van as close as the street allows. The van carries premium, mid-range and budget tyres, and locking wheel nut removal, TPMS resets and balancing are all done there and then. Payment is by card or contactless when the car is back on four sound tyres.

Tyres we fit in Clapham

We fit the full range at the kerb in Clapham, from everyday car tyres to 4x4 and van fitments. The size is printed on the sidewall in the form 205/55 R16 91V; read it to us, or just give us the registration.

• Car and hatchback tyres. The everyday fitment, in budget, mid-range and premium. We balance every wheel on site and set the pressures before we leave.
• 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. SUV and 4x4 fitments matched on load index and speed rating, not just the size, because the wrong rating on a heavy car is a safety issue.
• Winter and all-season tyres. Below roughly seven degrees a summer compound goes hard and stops gripping. Look for the three-peak mountain snowflake on the sidewall, which is the tested cold-weather mark.
• Run-flat tyres. We stock and fit run-flats. If one has been driven on deflated it needs replacing, not patching, and the pair on that axle should match.
• Performance and premium brands. Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear. The tyre label grades wet braking from A downwards, and the gap between an A and an E is measured in car lengths.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. There is nothing wrong with a budget tyre fitted properly. We will tell you honestly which axle is worth spending on rather than selling you four premiums.
• Van and light commercial. Light commercial fitments with the correct C rating and load index, because a car tyre on a working van is an insurance question as well as a safety one.

We fit at your home, your workplace or the roadside in Clapham, usually the same day you call.
