It also means impact damage is common. A pothole on the A3 or a raised kerb in a tight bay goes straight into the sidewall, and on larger wheels with low profile tyres there is very little rubber to absorb it.
So we look at what the car actually does before recommending anything. Wet braking matters for the A3; sidewall construction matters for everything else. We fit at your home or workplace, balance every wheel and take the old tyres away for recycling.
A tyre bought in a hurry is usually the wrong tyre. Once it is settled, the van comes to you in New Malden with the tyre already on board, fits it where the car stands and balances every wheel it touches. Every street in Coombe, every close in Old Malden, every junction on the A3. A tight terrace in Norbiton or a narrow bay on the A3 is usually workable. Steep camber in Malden Manor? We move a few metres, Motspur Park or anywhere else.

New Malden cars split their life between the A3 at speed and dense, close-parked streets, which scrubs shoulders and produces a lot of impact damage. We ask which dominates before recommending, and on larger wheels we will talk sidewall construction rather than just grip ratings.
A car used mostly within New Malden had legal tread across the middle and almost nothing on the outer edges, from years of tight parking. We fitted a pair with a stiffer shoulder and set the pressures, which slows that wear considerably.
A car on nineteen inch wheels had cracked a sidewall on the A3. A tyre with tougher sidewall construction has fared far better since, and on that road it is worth more than a marginal gain in dry grip.
Two worn fronts, two sound rears. New pair to the rear where grip matters most under braking, better used pair moved forward, rather than a full set the car did not need.
Low-speed steering while parking, which New Malden's close-packed streets produce in quantity, combined with slightly low pressures. A monthly check with the tyres cold is the cheapest way to make a set last longer here.
Yes. There is far less rubber between the rim and the road, so a pothole impact goes almost straight into the sidewall and the wheel. On nineteen inch wheels and above, sidewall construction is worth paying attention to.
Yes, that is normal here. We position the van to protect the working side of the car and use cones where the road is narrow, so we are not asking you to move the vehicle before we start.
The rear, when fitting a pair. Grip at the back keeps the car stable when you lift off or brake in the wet, and losing the rear is much harder to correct. That holds on front wheel drive cars too.
Yes, included, and properly recycled, so nothing is left at the kerbside on a street where there is no room for it anyway.
