Some tyres cannot be saved, and on the fitments common around Esher it is worth establishing that early, because the size hunt is the part that takes time.
Read us everything on the sidewall, including the letters after the size and any small code beside it. An asterisk, an MO, an N rating or an AO is a manufacturer approval, and on some cars it genuinely affects how the car rides and how the pressure monitoring behaves. We would rather know at the start than turn up with a tyre that is technically the right size and wrong for the car.
The other consideration is the axle. Both tyres on an axle should match in size, construction and rating, and on a permanent four wheel drive car the tolerance on rolling circumference is tighter still, because a large mismatch loads the centre differential every mile it turns. Where that applies we will tell you what the manufacturer says rather than simply fitting the odd one out.
A split found while checking the car before a long drive is the good version of this problem. So the tyre comes to the car: correct size matched to the wheel, fitted and balanced where it stands in Hinchley Wood, pressures set for the load you are about to put in it. Name Oxshott or Sandown Park, name the A3, and we have you. Level in Claygate, sloping in Hinchley Wood: we set the car straight first. Underground parking in Thames Ditton or Weston Green is worth flagging.

Replacement work in Esher tends to involve larger and more specified tyres than average, which makes the phone call more important than the visit. Two minutes reading the sidewall out, letters included, decides whether the tyre is on the van tonight or arriving tomorrow. Once here, it is fitted, balanced and torqued where the car stands, with card taken at the vehicle.
A saloon that took something off the carriageway near Esher had a cut through the sidewall, with a rim that had survived intact. The size was a standard nineteen inch fitment carried on board, and the car left the slip road on a correct replacement.
A driver in Oxshott assumed the spare from the rear axle would go on the front. The rears were wider by twenty millimetres. We brought the correct front size out rather than fit something that would have upset both the handling and the traction control.
An all wheel drive estate at Claygate needed one tyre and had three quarters worn on the same axle. The difference in rolling circumference was enough to matter, so we fitted a pair and explained why the single would have cost more in the long run.

Very quick call out and replace time, very good price and very polite.
Great service, fast and available. My tyre is not one an ordinary garage has in stock, but they just went to get the tyre and replaced it on a Sunday. Recommend.
Came and sorted a replacement tire within half an hour or so. Fast and efficient service.
The common nineteen and twenty inch sizes are carried. Rarer widths, some performance fitments and manufacturer approved tyres may need collecting, and we will tell you which of those yours is on the phone rather than after arriving at the car.
The number is the load index and the letter the speed rating, and any small symbol beside them is often a car maker's approval code. Fitting below the load or speed figures is not acceptable, and on some cars the approval affects ride and pressure monitoring.
One is fine when the other side of the same axle matches in size and construction and sits close in tread depth. When it does not, and particularly on four wheel drive, we will explain why a pair is the better answer and let you decide with the figures.
We say so straight away. Depending on the car we can fit a correctly specified alternative, source the exact tyre for the following day, or make the car safe and return. What we will not do is fit something outside specification to finish the job.
It does, for recycling, at no charge. There is nothing to store in a garage at Weston Green or leave standing beside a driveway in Claygate waiting for somebody to take it away later in the week.
