Tyres in Islington

Mobile tyre replacement across Islington (N1/N5)

That second number in the size code is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width, and as it drops the amount of rubber between the wheel rim and the kerb drops with it. On a 35 profile there is barely an inch of sidewall doing the cushioning. Every kerb, every sunken drain cover and every pothole goes almost directly into the wheel, which is why the cars that look best parked on Upper Street are the ones that get through tyres and rims fastest.

If you are buying anyway it is worth knowing where the money goes. On very low profiles, sidewall construction matters more than tread pattern, because most failures are impact damage rather than wear. A tyre with a reinforced bead area and a solid rim protector rib is worth more here than an extra grade of rolling resistance. When we fit around Islington, at a residents bay in Barnsbury or a street off Liverpool Road, we will talk about that rather than reading you a brochure. Balanced on site, old tyres away with us.

Just bought the car? The tyres are the first thing worth checking and the last thing anybody looks at. A cheap set fitted to get it sold, four different makes, or a pair with a date code from six years ago: all of it is common and none of it shows up on a test drive. We can come and look while it sits on the drive in Islington Green, tell you what you actually have, and fit what it needs at a time you pick. No sales pitch attached to the inspection. Fitting includes the balance, the valve and the pressures.

Local knowledge across Islington

Islington is terraced side streets, residents bays and one way systems, and the parking is tight enough that kerbing a wheel is a weekly hazard rather than an occasional accident. That makes sidewall construction a more useful thing to choose on than most of what appears on a tyre label. Fitting at the kerb means the car keeps its bay throughout.
