Tyres in Friern Barnet
Mixing tyre types on a car is legal in more cases than it is sensible. Different tread patterns behave differently under braking, and different construction types behave differently again.
Mobile tyre replacement across Friern Barnet (N11)
What happens is that the car stops being predictable. In a wet emergency stop the two ends of an axle grip differently and the car steps sideways. It is a subtle fault that only appears when you need the car most. When we fit in Friern Barnet, at a house off Woodhouse Road or the kerb near Friary Park, we check what is already on all four corners before adding anything. If the set has become a mixture over the years, we will show you and let you decide how to bring it back together. Budget through to premium, balanced on site.
Just bought the car? We can come and look while it sits on the drive in Friary Park, tell you what you actually have, and fit what it needs at a time you pick. Steep camber in Whetstone? We move a few metres, Friary Park or anywhere else. Blocked drive in New Southgate? Open kerb in Colney Hatch? Either works.

Tyres call-outs we handle in Friern Barnet
Winter tyre left on one corner

Four makes, four patterns
A vehicle parked off Colney Hatch Lane had picked up a different tyre every time one failed. We brought each axle back to a matched pair rather than replacing everything at once.
All season paired with summer
A driver near New Southgate had an all season and a summer tyre sharing the front axle. Both perfectly legal, both fine tyres, and together a car that behaved differently left to right in the cold.

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.

Excellent service, super fast! I had a rental car and a screw got stuck in the side of the tyre. They sorted it on the spot.

I was broken down in the middle of the A406, late at night. I called and they arrived within 15 minutes. Very fast and amazing service, and a kind, friendly gentleman got me moving quickly.

Tyres in Friern Barnet, FAQs
Mixing radial and cross ply construction on the same axle is not permitted. Mixing brands or patterns is legal but generally unwise on an axle, because it gives you uneven grip exactly when you brake hard.
You can, but it makes the car handle oddly, with far more grip at one end than the other. If you are going to run winter or all season tyres, run them on all four.
Yes, more than most people expect. Patterns clear water at different rates, so two different designs on one axle behave differently in the wet even when both are in good condition.
Yes. We come to the address, work beside the parked car and balance every wheel on site. The old tyres leave with us.
