When it comes to optimising safety, the tyres that you choose are a vital consideration. Here at Axminster Autos, we can help you identify issues with existing tyres and the best replacements for your needs. So you can drive confidently at all times during the year.

  • How we work
    How we work

    We have a wide range of brands and tyre sizes to suit your vehicle. We can check the tread on your existing tyres, identifying whether it falls beneath the 1.6mm requirement. Where necessary, our mechanics will remove and replace tyres with the most appropriate alternatives. Additionally, we can identify whether under-inflation is causing your issue or whether the wheel balancing is incorrect. At all times, your safety is our top priority and something that we take very seriously with every single customer.

    When you might need us

    You may have noticed visual deterioration to your tyres or are concerned that the tread is soon to fall under the legal requirements. Perhaps your steering wheel feels like it’s wobbling as you drive or the car doesn’t feel as stuck to the road surface as it should. Deteriorated tyres can reduce the handling capabilities of your vehicle and mean that it takes you longer to stop when braking. If you notice any of these issues, it’s important that you contact the team here at Axminster Autos so we can identify the root of the issue.

  • Common Questions
    How long should my tyres last?

    In average conditions, your front tyres should last around 20,000 miles. As your rear tyres take on less of the strain during driving, they can last up to 40,000 miles.

    How do I check wear on my tyre?

    For your tyres to be road legal, the tread needs to measure 1.6mm minimum. You can use a 20p coin to check this – if the raised edge is covered then pushed into your tread, your tyres are likely to be fine.

    Do I need to change my tyres in pairs?

    It’s not always necessary to have tyres changed in pairs. However, this is the ideal situation as it ensures you have even tread on both sides.

    How do I know the correct air pressure for my tyre?

    This information can be found on the tyre itself. Additionally, the information can be found in your car manufacturers manual.

    What will happen if I drive on unroadworthy tyres?

    As well as running the risk of punctures and accidents, driving without roadworthy tyres can result in a fine of up to £10,000.
