Mobile Tyre Fitting in Kensington

Why Kensington drivers call Fast Tyre

Kensington is organised around the High Street. The A315 runs along it from Kensington Gardens and the palace past the shops and the Design Museum towards Olympia, Kensington Church Street climbs north to Notting Hill Gate, and Gloucester Road runs south to the Cromwell Road. Either side of the High Street are the Phillimore streets, Kensington Square, Edwardes Square and the Abingdon area, with Holland Park to the west and the squares around Cornwall Gardens to the south. Almost all of it is permit parking.

We come to the car. A residents' bay in the Phillimore streets, a mews near Kensington Square, a road off Gloucester Road or the side street you turned into from the Cromwell Road: the van brings the tyre and the tools, and the job is done at the kerb. Allow 30 to 60 minutes for the van to reach you, whatever the hour, and 20 to 30 minutes for the fitting.

Kensington's streets are wide and handsome, but the kerbs are fully used. The High Street is busy with buses and has bus lanes along it, the Cromwell Road is fast, and the residential streets are permit bays end to end. A car with a failing tyre driven to a garage gives up its bay and spends time in traffic it does not need. Fitting where it is parked keeps the space and the tyre.

Tyre services in Kensington

Cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans, from premium brands to dependable budget lines, and tyres you have bought online fitted too. Many cars here run run-flat or low profile tyres on large wheels, and a run-flat that has been driven deflated needs replacing, so tell us how far it has been driven when you ring.

Tyres we fit in Kensington

We fit the full range at the kerb in Kensington, 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. Heavier vehicles need the right load index as well as the right size, so we match the rating on the sidewall rather than just the dimensions.
• Winter and all-season tyres. All-season and winter fitments carrying the three-peak mountain snowflake mark, which means the compound has been tested to stay soft in the cold rather than just looking chunky.
• 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. Premium fitments from Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear, where the wet grip grade on the EU label is the number worth paying for.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. Budget and mid-range options are legal and safe when fitted and inflated correctly. We will say plainly when the premium is worth it and when it is 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.

Most jobs in Kensington are done the same day, at the address where the car is already parked.
