Tyres & Alignment
Tyres
We carry stock of premium brands such as Michelin, Goodyear and Continental, however, we also offer a good selection of mid-range and budget tyres all at very competitive prices. Being main agents for Kuhmo tyres allows us to offer this excellent quality mid-range tyre at the best prices in the area. Giving the premium brands a run for their money in regards to performance and mileage.
Our state-of-the-art Hoffman fitting machine includes a full set of assister arms, which allow us to fit tyres of any size up to 24 inch, including run flat tyres, while helping to avoid damage to alloy wheels.
Properly balanced wheels help to ensure long tyre life and comfortable vehicle handling. Wheels that are not balanced correctly can cause a vibration which makes the vehicle uncomfortable to drive and can result in premature wear on some of the vehicle components. Our optimising Hoffman wheel balancer allows very precise balancing of wheels.
Alignment
An essential factor for ensuring long tyre life and good vehicle handling is properly aligned wheels. Our high Spec four wheel geometry system caters for most vehicles, including 4x4’s, and allows us to check caster, camber, alignment and also KPI (King Pin Inclination) then adjustments can be made where possible
How do I find my tyre size?
The tyre size is located on the side wall of the tyre.
An example of this would be: 195/65 R15 91H
195 indicates the width of the tyre across the tread in millimetres
65
indicates the height of the side wall as a percentage of the width (aspect ratio)
R indicates the tyre is radial ply (not necessary as all modern tyres are radial ply)
15 is the diameter of the wheel in inches
H is the tyre speed rating.
If you’re unsure about the tyre size you require just give us a call and we will be happy to advise you.
