Tyres in Angel
When you order new tyres for a car in Angel, the brand, the size and the rating are the obvious choices, and there is one more question worth asking before anything is fitted.
Mobile tyre replacement across Angel
A tyre can be brand new and several years old at the same time, and there is nothing improper about it. New means unused. The date code moulded into the sidewall tells you when it was actually made, in week and year, and that is the number worth asking about when a deal looks unusually good. Rubber ages on a shelf as well as on a car. It hardens slowly whether or not anybody drives on it, so a tyre that has spent four years in a warehouse begins life on your car with part of that life already gone.
None of which means a tyre has to have been made last month. A year or two old is entirely normal and makes no practical difference at all. Three or four years, sold as new at a keen price, is worth knowing about before it goes on rather than afterwards. We will give you the date codes on whatever we are fitting if you ask, and we would rather you asked. The fitting happens where the car already is, a permit bay off Upper Street or the parking near Chapel Market, so nobody is committing to anything unseen at a counter.
Most people put new tyres off because of the afternoon it costs them, not because of the tyre. A run on Upper Street and an hour at a counter is a morning gone. We take that part out. Tell us the size and a time that suits and the van comes to you in N1, which means a tyre already down to the wear bars never has to make one more journey to get replaced. Fitting includes the balance, the valve is checked or swapped while the wheel is off, and the pressures are set properly rather than guessed at. Card and contactless are taken at the kerb, in City Road Basin as anywhere else, and the old tyres leave with us for recycling.

Local knowledge across Angel
Angel is surrounded by resident permit streets that fill by morning, so a lot of people here buy tyres online and then discover that getting them fitted is the difficult half of the job. That is where a good deal of very old stock ends up being accepted, because once the tyres are in the hallway nobody wants to send them back. Reading the codes when they arrive rather than when they are being bolted on keeps that decision with you.
Typical tyre replacement jobs in Angel
Cheap set, four years old
A driver near Duncan Terrace had been offered a very keen price elsewhere and asked us to look at the codes before committing. The tyres were four years old, which made the price make rather more sense.
Codes read on the kerb
A set fitted off Upper Street where the owner read the date on each tyre before it went onto a wheel. It takes about a minute and nobody minds being asked.
Old spare, new tyres
A car near Chapel Market had four fresh tyres and a spare from a decade earlier still under the boot floor. That spare was never going to get anybody home.

Within an hour Abdul was at my house and it took him 15 minutes to change two tyres. Rapid, polite and with a huge smile. An absolute asset to the company.

So glad I called when I got a puncture. They kept me posted, arrived in good time and the price was very reasonable. I felt safe and looked after by their excellent service.

Rohan came so quickly, within the hour, and was decent and professional changing 2 tyres, giving a mum of 5 real peace of mind at a reasonable price. Excellent communication too.

Tyres in Angel, FAQs
Four digits in an oval on the sidewall, at the end of the long moulded code. The first two are the week and the last two the year, so 0824 is the eighth week of 2024. It is moulded onto one side of the tyre only.
Yes, because new means unused rather than recently made. It is still worth knowing, particularly when a price sits well below everything else, because warehouse time is real time as far as the rubber is concerned.
A year or two is completely normal and has no practical effect. Beyond about three years we would want to know why it was still on a shelf, and we would expect the price to reflect it.
Yes, and you can read them yourself while the tyre is still off the car. It costs nothing to check and it is the one specification nobody can argue about afterwards.
