Tyres in St Ives
Buying tyres online and having them fitted separately is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, and it is worth knowing what you are taking on.
Mobile tyre replacement across St Ives
What arrives is a tyre in a size you selected, and everything else is now your responsibility: whether it is the right load index, whether the speed rating matches, whether it is the correct version for your car if yours takes a manufacturer specific one, and whether the date code is recent. All of those are checks that happen automatically when somebody with the car in front of them orders it.
The other thing that gets missed is that fitting is not just mounting. A tyre needs a new valve, the wheel needs balancing in both planes, the sensor if there is one needs a service kit, and the nuts need torquing to the manufacturer's figure. A price for mounting alone frequently excludes some of those. We are happy to fit tyres you have bought, and we will tell you honestly if what has arrived is not right for the car before it goes on the rim rather than after. Equally, if you would rather we sourced them, that check happens before anything is ordered.
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 St Ives
Plenty of people around St Ives buy tyres online and just want them fitted, which is entirely sensible and we are happy to do it. What we will not do is put something on the rim that is wrong for the car without saying so. Reading the whole sidewall marking before you order is the single thing that prevents nearly every problem of that kind.
Typical tyre replacement jobs in St Ives
The right size and the wrong rating
Size is the easy part. Load index, speed rating and any manufacturer specific marking are the ones that get missed when a tyre is chosen from a drop down list.
A date code from three years ago
Online stock moves at very different rates. It is worth reading the code when the tyre arrives rather than assuming that new means recently made.
Mounting versus fitting
A new valve, balancing in both planes, a sensor service kit and correct torque are all part of fitting. A price for mounting alone often is not.
