Mobile Tyre Fitting in Highbury

Why Highbury drivers call Fast Tyre

Highbury sits in a calm wedge of N5 between Holloway Road and Finsbury Park, built around the green expanse of Highbury Fields and the grand terraces of Highbury New Park and Aberdeen Park. It is a residential area first and foremost, full of permit bays and quiet roads where people leave the car for days at a time, which is exactly when a slow puncture or a flat tends to reveal itself.

Getting to a garage from here usually means joining the queue at the Highbury Corner roundabout or fighting up Holloway Road, neither of which is appealing on a soft tyre. Our mobile service takes that out of the equation completely. We come to the bay outside your house, on the streets off Blackstock Road, around Highbury Barn or down towards Drayton Park, and do the whole job at the kerb.

We handle cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans, repair punctures where they can be repaired safely, and fit new tyres with a 2-year warranty. Once we are beside the car the fitting itself takes 20 to 30 minutes, and you pay by card on the spot. There is also a 24/7 emergency line, so if you are stranded near Highbury Corner late at night we can still come out.

Highbury is deceptively tricky to drive when you are on a bad tyre. Highbury Corner funnels everything through one busy roundabout, the residential streets are permit-only and often one-way, and the parking around Highbury Fields fills up quickly. Coming to you means you never have to move a damaged car through that. We fit beside your parked car, work cleanly and quickly on the narrow terraces, and leave you exactly where you were.

Tyre services in Highbury

A lot of Highbury cars sit for days in a permit bay, and that is how a slow leak becomes a flat that nobody saw coming. When we reach one we check the other three tyres while we are there, repair to BS AU 159 where the damage is in the repairable part of the tread, and match any replacement to the size and load rating on the tyre coming off. Card or contactless at the car when the wheel is back on.

Tyres we fit in Highbury

We fit the full range at the kerb in Highbury, from everyday car tyres to 4x4 and van fitments. The size is printed on the sidewall in the form 205/55 R16 91V; read it to us, or just give us the registration.

• Car and hatchback tyres. Ordinary car fitments in budget, mid-range or premium, each wheel balanced at the kerb and the pressures checked against the door plate.
• 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. SUV and 4x4 fitments matched on load index and speed rating, not just the size, because the wrong rating on a heavy car is a safety issue.
• Winter and all-season tyres. A summer compound hardens below about seven degrees. An all-season tyre carrying the three-peak mountain snowflake mark stays soft through the cold months without the noise of a full winter tyre.
• Run-flat tyres. Common on BMW and MINI. A run-flat that has been driven on almost always needs replacing rather than repairing, and it should be matched across the axle.
• Performance and premium brands. The premium range, Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear, for cars where wet braking and tread life justify the difference.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. A budget tyre fitted correctly and inflated properly is a legal, safe tyre. We will tell you where the money makes a real difference and where it does not.
• Van and light commercial. Van tyres carry a C rating and a higher load index. Fitting a car tyre to a loaded van is both unsafe and an insurance problem, so we match the correct rating.

Same-day fitting is normal rather than exceptional, and we come to the car in Highbury rather than you driving to us.
