Mobile Tyre Fitting in the M1 Corridor

Why the M1 Corridor drivers call Fast Tyre

If a tyre goes on the M1 itself, we are not your first call. Come off at the next junction or into an emergency area if the car will still steer, hazards on, then ring 999, or National Highways on 0300 123 5000, before you ring us. Parts of this road run without a permanent hard shoulder and only they can close a lane. Get everyone out through the nearside doors and behind the barrier.

We attend once you are somewhere legal and safe to work: the services, a side road off the next junction, a lay-by off the carriageway, or home after recovery. Arrival is typically 30 to 60 minutes along the corridor, with a real time given on the call.

Our base is on Crothall Close in London N13, a short run from Staples Corner, so the southern half of this corridor is ordinary work for us. Junctions 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 sit inside ground we cover every day, and the A5, the A41 and the A5183 give us three ways in when the motorway itself is stationary. Further up, Junction 10 for Luton, Junction 11a at Houghton Regis and Junction 14 at Newport Pagnell are covered in the same way, and the call tells you exactly where the van is.

Tyre services in the M1 Corridor

Cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans, with premium, mid range and budget tyres carried in the sizes those vehicles take. Give us the registration when you ring and the right tyre travels with the van. The wheel is balanced on site and the TPMS reset before we leave, which matters on anything first used from 2012, where a lit TPMS light is an MOT failure. Card and contactless taken at the car.

Tyres we fit in the M1 Corridor

Whatever is on the car now, we carry the common fitments on the van and can order anything we do not. Read the size off the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16 91V, or give us the registration and we will match it.

• 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. A 4x4 or SUV carries more weight, so the load index matters as much as the size. We match both rather than fitting on dimensions alone.
• 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. 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. Light commercial fitments with the correct C rating and load index, because a car tyre on a working van is an insurance question as well as a safety one.

Same-day fitting is normal rather than exceptional, and we come to the car in the M1 Corridor rather than you driving to us.
