Tyres in Sandy
The question of whether to buy one tyre or two comes up constantly, and the answer is usually two, on the same axle.
Mobile tyre replacement across Sandy
It is not a legal requirement and there are plenty of situations where fitting one is the sensible thing to do, particularly if the partner is nearly new and only one has been damaged. Where it matters is when the difference between the two is large. We tell you what is on the other side of the axle before fitting anything, so the decision is yours and it is informed. Around Sandy, where a lot of driving is done at speed on the A1 and the A603, the wet braking case for matching a pair is stronger than it would be for a purely local car.
What is actually on the van decides whether this works, so it is worth saying. It means a set can go on in The Lodge, in Beeston or at a kerb in between to the same standard as a workshop, and it means nothing has to be booked in for a second visit. Every street in Town Centre, every close in Beeston, every junction on the A1. The wheel comes off in Girtford, not on a ramp in St Neots. Nothing is towed out of Sunderland Road or Engayne Avenue; the work finishes there.

Local knowledge across Sandy
A lot of Sandy driving is done at speed on the A1 and the A603 rather than pottering locally, and that is the use where a mismatched axle actually shows itself under wet braking. It makes the pair argument stronger here than it would be for a town car. We will tell you what is on the other side before you decide, and fit at the address either way.
Tyres call-outs we handle in Sandy
One new, one nearly worn
They grip differently and they let go at different moments. On a wet road under hard braking that difference shows up as the car pulling to one side.
One damaged tyre, three good ones
If the partner is close to new, fitting a single tyre is perfectly sensible. It is the size of the difference that matters, not the principle.
Quoted for one and told about two
We tell you what is on the other side before anything goes on. If a pair is the better answer you will hear why, and if it is not we will say that too.

Tyres in Sandy, FAQs
Not legally, but it is usually the better answer. Two tyres on the same axle should behave alike, and a big difference in tread depth between them shows up in the wet.
When the partner is close to new. A small difference in depth between two tyres of the same type causes no real problem.
If you are buying two, the deeper tread belongs on the rear. We will move the existing wheels round as part of the job rather than charge for it separately.
Common car, SUV and 4x4 sizes ride on the van and less usual ones are sourced quickly. Read us the full sidewall marking when you ring.
