Tyre FAQs | Everything You Need to Know About Mobile Tyre Fitting
Got questions about tyres? You're not alone. At Tyre 2 You, we’re asked about tyre safety, mobile fitting, run flat technology and more every day. So here are the most common questions our customers ask — answered clearly and simply.
What tread depth is legal in the UK?
The minimum legal tread depth for car tyres in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Anything less can result in fines and points on your licence. We recommend replacing tyres when tread drops below 3mm for safety.
How do I know if my tyres need replacing?
Look out for:
- Cracks in the sidewall
- Visible tread wear indicators
- Vibration while driving
- Bulges or blisters
- Poor wet weather grip
If in doubt, give us a call — we’ll come check your tyres on-site.
Do you offer mobile tyre fitting?
Yes — that’s our speciality. We bring the garage to your driveway, workplace or roadside with:
- Same day fitting
- Emergency 24/7 callouts
- Digital balancing & valve check
Can you fit run flat tyres?
Absolutely. We carry and fit run flat tyres for BMW, MINI, Mercedes and other vehicles. They’re designed to drive up to 50 miles after a puncture.
What does TPMS mean?
TPMS stands for Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. If your TPMS light is on, it means at least one tyre has low pressure — or the system needs a reset. We can diagnose and reset TPMS as part of our mobile service.
Do I need winter tyres in the UK?
If you drive in colder months, especially in rural or hilly areas, winter tyres give better grip below 7°C. We also offer all-season tyres as a flexible alternative.
How much does tyre fitting cost?
Prices vary by tyre size and brand. We offer budget, mid-range and premium tyres — always fitted on-site. Call us on 01761 568118 for an instant quote.
