Tread depth is only one of the things that make a tyre legal. A cut deep enough to show cords, a lump anywhere in the wall, or rubber of the wrong size for the axle each fail on their own, whatever the gauge reads. That is why the answer to some punctures is not a repair at any price. When a tyre has lost its structure the only fix is another tyre, and if the car is needed the same day, it needs to happen where the car already is rather than at the end of a tow.
It might be a tyre that let go on the way home and is now sat on a driveway in Bellingham, or one you have finally looked at properly and found worn past the limit with an early start tomorrow. Old tyres leave Rushey Green, Bellingham and SE6 with us, every time. You watch it happen in Hither Green, or at the kerb in Southend.

Catford sits where several busy routes meet, so a car with a destroyed tyre is often stuck somewhere it really cannot stay. We fit at the roadside, on a drive off Bromley Road, or in a car park near the Broadway, and every wheel is balanced before we pack up. Payment is by card or contactless at the kerb.
Losing a tyre in traffic on the A205 leaves you somewhere nobody wants to stand about. Get clear of the traffic first and then call, and we come to the car. A tyre delivered to the roadside costs a great deal less time than a tow, a lift home and a booking for tomorrow afternoon.
Squeezing wide round the junction, a driver caught the kerb square on and split the sidewall open. There is no repair for a wall, so the choice made itself. Fitted, balanced and torqued at the roadside within the hour.
We gauge the others before deciding anything. If the remaining rubber is healthy, one replacement is the honest answer. If a second is skating along near 1.6mm, you will hear that as information rather than as a sales pitch.
All the major names sit somewhere on the range, from a sensible budget tyre through mid-range to premium. Tell us the car and the sort of mileage you do and the choice gets narrowed on the call, not on the doorstep.
Once you have added recovery, a taxi and a day of your own time to the garage price, mobile is usually the cheaper way round. The figure we quote covers coming out and doing the work, agreed before anything starts.
Yes, and on some cars it is the right call, particularly where a matched pair on an axle matters. We will explain when it applies rather than treating every job as a pair.
Two years of warranty comes with anything new we fit. Keep the paperwork somewhere sensible, since that is what you would need if a manufacturing fault ever showed up.
In our fitting van and off your street. Nobody needs a scrap tyre standing outside the house for a fortnight waiting for the council.
