Mobile Tyre Fitting in Central London

Why Central London drivers call Fast Tyre

Central London is the hardest part of the capital to have a tyre problem in, and not because the roads are rough. It is because there is nowhere to put a car. The A501 carries Marylebone Road into Euston Road and Pentonville Road as a red route with no stopping at all. Piccadilly and Knightsbridge on the A4 are lined with bays that are taxi rank, loading only or permit holders. The streets around Soho, Fitzrovia and Covent Garden are one way, narrow and full of deliveries by seven in the morning. In the City, Bank Junction is closed to cars between 7am and 7pm on weekdays.

Fast Tyre works inside all of that, seven days a week and right through the night. The tyre, the balancer and the tools come to the car, whether it is on a resident bay in Pimlico, in a Bloomsbury mews, on an office forecourt off Farringdon Road or in a car park behind Waterloo. Most jobs are done inside the hour. We plan around the traffic rather than pretend it is not there. Arrival is usually 30 to 60 minutes.

The Congestion Charge applies here on top of ULEZ, 7am to 6pm on weekdays and from midday to 6pm at weekends and bank holidays, with the boundary running along Marylebone Road, Pentonville Road, Tower Bridge, Elephant and Castle, Vauxhall Bridge Road, Park Lane and Edgware Road. Driving a wounded car across town to a garage can mean paying for the privilege. Then there is the parking. Double reds on the A4 and the A501 mean no stopping at any hour, single yellows and resident bays cover most of Westminster and Camden, and the free space is never outside your own door. Standing still while we work costs nothing. Moving the car costs time, money and possibly a rim.

Tyre services in Central London

Give us the registration on the phone and the correct tyre is already on board when we arrive, premium, mid range or budget, whichever you would rather. Cars, SUVs, 4x4s and vans. We can work in a single bay if a single bay is all there is, and we take the old tyre and every bit of mess away with us, which matters on a Mayfair street. Card and contactless before we leave.

Tyres we fit in Central London

Whatever is on the car now, we carry the common fitments on the van and can order anything we do not. Read the size off the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16 91V, or give us the registration and we will match it.

• Car and hatchback tyres. Standard car and hatchback sizes across all three price tiers, balanced on site with the pressures set to the manufacturer plate.
• 4x4, SUV and crossover tyres. SUV and 4x4 fitments matched on load index and speed rating, not just the size, because the wrong rating on a heavy car is a safety issue.
• Winter and all-season tyres. A summer compound hardens below about seven degrees. An all-season tyre carrying the three-peak mountain snowflake mark stays soft through the cold months without the noise of a full winter tyre.
• Run-flat tyres. Common on BMW and MINI. A run-flat that has been driven on almost always needs replacing rather than repairing, and it should be matched across the axle.
• Performance and premium brands. The premium range, Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli and Goodyear, for cars where wet braking and tread life justify the difference.
• Budget and mid-range tyres. There is nothing wrong with a budget tyre fitted properly. We will tell you honestly which axle is worth spending on rather than selling you four premiums.
• Van and light commercial. Van and light commercial sizes with the right load rating. We do not fit a car-rated tyre to a van that carries weight.

Most jobs in Central London are done the same day, at the address where the car is already parked.
