Mobile Tyre Fitting
A van full of tyres, fitted wherever you are — your drive, the work car park, or the side of the road.
Local mobile tyre fitter carrying a large stock of tyres — we come to you and get you moving again. Home, work or the roadside — across Plymouth, Kingsbridge & Salcombe, Ivybridge & the A38 East and the wider South West.
Most jobs are done there and then — we carry the stock rather than ordering it in.
A van full of tyres, fitted wherever you are — your drive, the work car park, or the side of the road.
Flat tyre now? We'll come to you, day or night.
Scraped a wall in a narrow lane? Sidewall damage can't be repaired — but we carry the replacement.
Budget, mid-range and premium tyres, fitted at your door — no waiting room, no dropping the car off.
A cheaper option, done properly — checked, legally marked, and fitted the same as a new tyre.
If it can't be fixed at the roadside, we'll get the vehicle where it needs to be.
Based in Plymouth, but that's not where we stop — our patch runs coast to coast, from Exeter to Newquay. The areas below are just where most of our jobs come from.
Plympton, Plymstock, Estover, Devonport and around.
Kingsbridge, Salcombe, Modbury, Aveton Gifford and around.
Ivybridge, Lee Mill, South Brent, Buckfastleigh and around.
Saltash, Torpoint, Callington, Tavistock and around.
Torquay, Paignton, Brixham, Newton Abbot and around.
Exeter, Newquay, Bodmin, Okehampton, Truro — anywhere in Devon or Cornwall, ask.
It depends entirely on where the damage is. The British Standard that governs tyre repairs — BS AU 159 — is quite specific, and we'd rather explain it than have you find out on the driveway.
A screw in the middle of the tread. This one we can usually plug and patch.
A puncture smaller than 6mm across, in the central three-quarters of the tread, with no sidewall damage, no exposed cords, and the tyre hasn't been driven on while flat.
A split in the sidewall. There is no legal repair for this - it needs a new tyre.
Anything on the sidewall or shoulder. Anything bigger than 6mm. Splits, tears, bulges or an egg shape. Any visible fabric or wire. And any tyre that's been driven on flat — the inside is damaged even when the outside looks fine.
If you're not sure, ring us and describe it, or send a photo. We'll tell you straight — including when it's fine and you don't need us.
Drag the slider to see how the same tyre changes as the tread wears down. It is a guide to what each stage looks like, not a measurement — for the real check, see the 20p test underneath.
Nearly new
Put a 20p coin into the main grooves. If the outer band of the coin is hidden, you have more than the legal minimum. If you can see that band, the tyre is close to or past the limit and wants looking at properly. Your tyres also have tread wear indicator bars moulded into the bottom of the grooves — when the tread is level with those bars, the tyre is finished.
The legal minimum in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread, all the way round. Below that it is up to a £2,500 fine and three penalty points per tyre, and your MOT fails. Grip in the wet starts dropping off well before then, which is why we suggest replacing nearer 3mm.
Not sure what you are looking at? Send us a photo and we will tell you straight — including when it is fine and you do not need us.
We answer the phone 24 hours a day. Tell us where you are and what's happened, and we'll give you a realistic time.
