Part-worn tyres come up on urgent jobs because the price looks kind at a bad moment, and we do not fit them. The reason is not snobbery about used goods, it is that you cannot know what you are buying. A part-worn has an unrecorded history: you have no idea whether it has been run flat, whether it has been repaired badly, whether it has sat in a yard for six years, or whether the casing was bruised by a kerb before somebody pulled it off a car.
The visible parts of a tyre tell you almost nothing about any of that. The evidence lives on the inner liner and in the casing, and it is not available to whoever sells you the tyre either. Somewhere between a third and a half of the working life is usually gone as well, so the saving is far smaller than the sticker suggests. We would rather explain that standing next to your car than fit something with an unknown past to a vehicle you drive.
A tyre that has been run flat is scrap even if it looks intact. The correct size comes out to the car in White City, gets fitted and balanced where it stands, with the valve and pressures dealt with in the same visit. An Old Oak cul-de-sac or a Westway corridor main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Hammersmith Park or a narrow bay on India Way is usually workable.

A lot of the urgent replacements around here happen in car parks, where somebody has come back to the car and found it undriveable. That is a bad moment to be making a purchase decision under pressure, which is why we quote before we set off and explain the options at the car. The old tyre leaves with us for recycling once you have seen why it was condemned.
Nobody selling a part-worn can tell you whether it has been run flat or badly repaired, because the evidence is inside the casing and was never recorded.
A tyre with 4mm left has used more of itself than most people assume. Measured against a new one, the price per remaining millimetre is rarely the saving it looks.
There is a genuine budget end of the new tyre market, and it is a far better answer than a used premium tyre with an unknown past. We carry the range and will talk it through honestly.
Because their history cannot be verified. Whether one has been run flat, badly repaired or bruised by a kerb is written inside the casing, and nobody in the chain can tell you.
Less than they look. A good deal of the usable life is usually gone, so the cost per remaining millimetre is often close to a new budget tyre.
Then a new budget tyre is the sensible answer. We carry budget, mid-range and premium, and we will tell you what the difference actually buys.
Common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes travel on the van, so most W12 jobs finish in one visit. Read us the sidewall code when you ring.
In most cases yes, provided there is clearance for the van and room to work safely. Tell us where the car is parked and we will confirm.
