Tyres in Kettering

Mobile tyre replacement across Kettering

We can quote tyres in your size at every level, from the best known names to sound value ranges, and fit them at the house or the workplace, and we will fit tyres you have bought online as well. Before any of that, though, the tread will tell you how long you have, and almost nobody knows where to look. Moulded into the base of the main circumferential grooves are small raised bars, set at exactly 1.6mm. When the tread surface has worn down flush with those bars, that part of the tyre is at the legal limit. To find them, look on the shoulder for a small triangle, the letters TWI, or a maker's logo: that mark points at the groove where the bar sits.

The useful part is that there are several of them around the tyre and across it, so you can see whether the tyre is wearing evenly. A tyre flush with the bars on one side and well clear on the other is telling you about the geometry rather than the mileage. When we are at the car we measure with a gauge rather than eyeballing the bars, because by the time a bar is visibly level you have been running below three millimetres for a while. Fitting happens at the address, in Brambleside, Barton Seagrave or a workplace, with each wheel balanced.

It is not really the tyre that puts people off. It is the waiting room. The drive over, the queue, the hour that turns into two, the walk to somewhere to sit, and the same trip again the next time. Take all of that out and a tyre change is twenty minutes of somebody else working while you carry on. That is the entire proposition: you say when and where, we bring the stock and the balancer to the parked car, and the job is finished on site. Nothing worn has to be driven on the A14 to get there.

Local knowledge across Kettering

Kettering's position on the A14 freight corridor means cars here do a lot of steady high speed mileage, and that produces even wear across the tread that can be deceptive to look at. The indicators tell you when you have run out of road entirely. Measuring properly, at the car, tells you when to plan, which is a more useful thing to know.
