When the tyre is finished, everything depends on knowing exactly what the car takes.
Common sizes ride on the van. Rarer sizes, staggered fitments and tyres with a manufacturer specific marking may need collecting, and Royston being where it is, we will give you a realistic time for that rather than a hopeful one. On anything towing or carrying weight out towards Bassingbourn, the load index has to be met exactly.
Matching across the axle is the other half of it: same size, same construction, similar tread depth. Where only one tyre is being replaced, the newer pair belongs on the rear, whichever end of the car actually drives it.
When a tyre is finished, the useful question is how quickly you can be legal again. We answer it by bringing the replacement to you in Royston instead of asking you to drive to it, which matters when the tyre in question is split, shredded or down past the wear bars. Blocked drive in Melbourn Road? Open kerb in Burns Road? Either works. Which street in Newmarket Road, which way the car sits in Therfield, and we are set.

Royston is far enough from anywhere that a wrong tyre costs most of a day, so the size code is the most useful thing you can give us on the first call. Photograph the sidewall if reading it out is awkward. With the correct specification loaded before we leave, an unusual fitment out at Therfield or Bassingbourn becomes one visit rather than two.
A car on Burns Road ran a size that is not commonly stocked. Rather than fit an approximate alternative, the right tyre was collected and fitted the same day, with the driver given the honest timescale at the point of the first call.
A vehicle used with a trailer out towards Bassingbourn needed a rear tyre. The load index on the original was higher than the standard equivalent for that size, and matching that mattered considerably more than matching the brand.
A front wheel drive car near the town centre needed one tyre. The rears were more worn than the fronts, so the new tyre and the best remaining one went on the rear axle, which keeps the back of the car planted in standing water.

I have an electric car, and it was very difficult to find the right tire in an emergency. Ali came incredibly quickly, almost at midnight, and got the job done very fast. He was extremely friendly, professional, and helpful, and really went above and beyond to help me when I needed it most.
Excellent service. Contacted at 7.30pm and they replied right away. Tire was replaced by 9.30pm. Friendly and very quick. Would highly recommend.
I would highly recommend Sohit. Got a damaged tyre late night, and contacted him. He responded exceptionally fast and fixed the tyre in a very professional manner at a very reasonable price.
Because a rear axle that loses grip first makes the car unstable, and worn rears aquaplane before worn fronts do. Putting the better pair at the back is standard practice regardless of which end drives the car.
That is often fine. One tyre works where the other on that axle is close in tread depth and identical in size and construction. If it is nearly bald we will explain why a pair is the safer spend and then leave the decision with you.
It does, because the rating reflects how the casing handles sustained heat rather than simply top speed. A long run on the A10 in summer heats a tyre considerably, and the manufacturer specified a rating with that in mind.
Longer than the thirty to sixty minutes a stocked size takes, and we give you the real figure on the phone. Out this way, collecting stock adds time, and we would rather you planned around an honest number.
Yes. If you have a spare rim or a set of winter wheels, we can mount and balance tyres onto them at your address. Bring them out of the garage and the work happens on the driveway with the car untouched.
