It is worth knowing what actually happens when a tyre goes on, because it explains why a rushed job causes problems months later. The old tyre is broken off its bead seat and removed, and then the rim seat itself gets cleaned, because that is the surface the new tyre has to seal against. Bead lubricant goes on both beads, the tyre is fitted over the rim without stretching or nipping it, and then it is inflated until both beads snap up onto their seats with a sharp bang. That noise is the tyre seating, and until it happens the tyre is not sealed.
Skip the cleaning and the lubricant and you get a bead that never quite seats, which turns into a mystery slow leak weeks later. Then the assembly is balanced, the valve or sensor kit is renewed, the pressure is set and the wheel is torqued back on. All of it happens at your address in Hertford, on a drive in Bengeo, at the Hartham car park or a workplace, and none of it is any different for being done at the kerb.
Tyres age whether or not you drive on them. A car that only does short local runs can pass every visual check and still be sitting on rubber that has hardened and started to craze between the tread blocks. We will, while we are with the car in Foxholes, and if the tread is fine we will say the tread is fine. A Sele Farm cul-de-sac or a Pinehurst main road, tell us which. A tight terrace in Pinehurst or a narrow bay on the A414 is usually workable.

Hertford's town centre offers nowhere sensible to leave a car and the one way system around Fore Street makes even a short errand tedious, so a tyre change here usually means giving up a chunk of the day. Doing it on the drive removes that. The sequence and the equipment are unchanged, which is what matters once the car is back on the road.
A car in Sele Farm had a slow leak on a nearly new tyre. The rim seat had been crusted when the tyre went on and it had never sealed properly all the way round.
A vehicle near Pinehurst had a tyre damaged during a previous fitting, with a chafed area right at the bead. That is not repairable and it was avoidable.
A straightforward set on a drive in Foxholes: seats cleaned, beads lubricated, seated properly, balanced, valves renewed and torqued. Nothing to report afterwards, which is the point.
The beads snapping up onto their seats on the rim. Until that happens the tyre is not sealed, and it is a normal and necessary part of fitting.
Because the bead seals against it. Corrosion or old sealant left in place stops the tyre seating evenly, which is one of the most common causes of an unexplained slow leak on a new tyre.
Rubber valves, yes, as a matter of course. On cars with sensors in the wheels the service kit should be renewed whenever the tyre comes off.
It is the same process with the same equipment. The machine, the balancer and the torque wrench all travel with us.
