Tyre Safety Month is a good excuse to get down and check your tyres. While you’re there, look at the alloys too: kerb rash, chips, peeling lacquer or early corrosion. Better to spot it before the winter salt arrives.

Booking a refurb? We check your tyres’ tread and condition while the wheels are in, and let you know if anything needs attention. If they need replacing, we can price up new ones.
