Mobile Tyre Fitting - Tyre Maintenance Tips & Advice

Our mobile tyre fitting service is all about saving you time and money, and our range of services is aimed to cover those 'annoying' motoring mishaps like flat tyres or flat batteries. Both of these can land you in real trouble and can stop you getting where you want to be.

One way of avoiding problems is to ensure that you maintain the tyres on your car/van, making sure that they are at the right pressures and are not damaged etc. With this in mind we have provided a list of things to bear in mind when checking and replacing your tyres on your car, van, caravan or trailer.

But, if you do get a flat (battery or tyre) or just need some new tyres and don't want the hassle of going to a garage (and / or you don't want to pay their 'inflated' prices), then Mobi Tyre is here to help you, with a fast, friendly courteous service.

What's more we will always come to you, whether at home or at work, at a time to suit your busy life schedule.

SOME TOP TYRE TIPS & INFORMATION

Make Sure Your Tyre Pressures Are Correct

All vehicles come with Recommended tyre inflation pressures, and these can normally be be found in the vehicle handbook and/or on a placard mounted on the vehicle. If you can’t find this information somewhere, then you must consult the tyre manufacturer. The correct pressures mentioned relate to the loads and speeds that the vehicle will be used for and it is vital to keep to these if maximum safety, braking, grip, and good tyre life are wanted.

Just so you know, the dangers of prolonged under-inflation is that it causes excessive flexing and thus deterioration of the casing. Rapid wear of the tread shoulders will also occur and the vehicle will consume more fuel.

On the other hand over-inflation results in an uncomfortable ride, as well as a reduced area of contact with the road (with all the dangers that this provides), plus accelerated wear on the tread centre. It also makes the tyre more susceptible to impact damage.

To ensure that your inflation pressures are kept at the right level, they should be checked at least every two weeks and only when the tyre is cold. Always remember to use a reliable and accurate pressure gauge too.

Inspection and maintenance

It is also essential to examine your tyres on a regular basis, removing stones and other objects embedded in the tread. In all cases if the tyre has lumps or bulges you must get it examined by a tyre specialist since these could indicate internal damage. Also always wipe away oil or grease with a suitable diluted detergent.

Check for Legal Tread Depth

Tyre treads are designed to give good grip on wet roads, but even with this in mind, in the wet grip decreases, this being especially the case as the tyre tread pattern wears down or as the depth of water increases.

The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm throughout a continuous band comprising the central three-quarters of the breadth of tread and round the entire outer circumference of the tyre.

Please be aware however, that wet grip deteriorates more rapidly in the second half of its tread life and that wet stopping distances can dramatically lengthen. It is therefore advisable replace tyres well before they reach the legal minimum.
