Before the old tyre goes in the van it is worth thirty seconds of reading, because it is the most honest report on your car you will get for free. Wear across the middle only means it has been running over-inflated. Wear on both shoulders with a good middle means under-inflated, usually for a long time. Wear on one edge alone points at alignment. A scalloped, wavy pattern points at suspension or a wheel that is not running true.
That information matters more on an emergency replacement than on a planned one, because you are about to put a new tyre onto the same corner of the same car. Whatever finished the old one is still there. We will tell you what the casing is showing before it leaves with us for recycling, which is not a sales conversation, it is the difference between buying one tyre and buying the same tyre again in a year.
Tyre age is a genuine reason for an urgent replacement even when the tread looks fine. We can check the codes on all four while we are with the car in IG8 and replace whichever genuinely need it, fitted and balanced on the spot. Ring at 3am from Highams Park and someone answers; Charlie Brown's at noon is no different. A 4am Highams Park call and a noon Charlie Brown's call reach the same fitter. The IG8 postcode and a street in Charlie Brown's: that is enough.

Woodford drivers use the North Circular and the A104 regularly, which is enough sustained speed to make a pressure or alignment problem tell on the tread rather than hiding it. When a tyre has to be changed in a hurry, the thirty seconds spent reading the old one is the part that stops the same conversation happening again next year.
Over-inflation, sustained. The tread crowned and the centre took all the load. Setting the pressures to the plate figure stops the new one going the same way.
The opposite, and usually the sign of a slow leak nobody chased or pressures that have not been checked in a year or two.
Something is bouncing rather than rolling. Worth investigating, because a new tyre on that corner will develop the same pattern soon enough.
Because it records what has been happening at that corner, and whatever it was is still there for the new tyre to deal with.
Yes, plainly, before the old casing goes in the van. It is not a sales pitch, it is information you can act on or ignore.
Every time, for recycling. Nothing gets left leaning against a wall or a bin store behind you.
All four, against the plate in the door shut, and we tell you the figures so you have them afterwards.
Typically 30 to 60 minutes, whether you are on a driveway, on a side street off Snakes Lane or pulled in beside the A406.
