Tyres in Sittingbourne

A standard tyre fitting for two tyres usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes, including balancing. Four tyres normally take about an hour, depending on the vehicle and tyre type.

Wheel alignment is available on the same visit as your tyre fitting. If your car has hit a pothole or kerb, or has had steering or suspension work, it is worth having the alignment checked.

The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. If your tyres are getting close to that limit, it is best to replace them before they become unsafe or illegal.

We fit run-flat tyres and can also handle larger alloy wheel fitments. If your vehicle uses a less common tyre size, call ahead so we can confirm availability.

How long tyres last depends on mileage, driving style, and road conditions, but many UK drivers need new tyres every 3–5 years or between roughly 20,000 and 40,000 miles. It’s sensible to have them checked regularly once the tread is below about 3mm, or sooner if you notice uneven wear or damage.

It’s usually best to replace tyres in pairs on the same axle so grip and wear are consistent left to right. In some cases a single replacement is possible, but the new tyre should closely match the size, type, and tread pattern of the remaining tyre; we can advise the safest option for your car.

Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall (for example, 205/55 R16) and is also listed in the vehicle handbook and often on a sticker inside the fuel flap or door shut. If you’re unsure, we can look up the correct size from your registration and explain suitable options in budget, mid‑range, and premium brands.
