Do I Need a Tyre Fitter Mechanic?
Simply put, tyres keep our cars on the road. Having healthy tyres prevent us from veering off a wet UK road, ending in an accident and having to call out an emergency breakdown. As our life really does depend on decent tyres, with enough tread and fitted professionally, so that they are balanced and aligned for correct contact with the road and ensuring a smoother ride with less wear on the tread and less strain on the drivetrain, it is best to rely on the experts and have new tyres professionally fitted rather than buying a tyre off eBay and trying to fit it yourself.
Nowadays tyre fitters really do make it easy to keep up good health of tyres, by even offering to come to our homes and fit the tyres while our car is parked on the driveway. Tyre manufacturers (e.g., Goodyear, Dunlop, Michelin…) insist that regardless of the amount of tread left on a tyre, that the tyre is replaced every 10 years. This is because the age causes the rubber to breakdown and cracks can appear on the sidewall. If the tread of a tyre is close to reaching 1.6mm then it needs to be changed before the tyre is deemed illegal.
What Do Tyre Fitter Specialist Mechanics Do?
A tyre fitter expert is a specialist mechanic who can best advice you on which tyre is right for your car. This will depend on the width, height and wheel diameter your vehicle needs and whether your car uses run-flat tyres or needs extra-load tyres.
The duties of a tyre fitting garage include:
- Checking the health of your tyres: Making sure that there is enough legal tread on the tyre, and no cracks or sign of aging as well as noting how old the tyres are as even good makes of tyres will perish over the years with age.
- Fixing punctures: Rather than a replacement of a tyre, if the puncture is in a certain area of the tyre, then you can have a plug fitted. This is normally when a nail is pulled out of the tyre and as long as it is not too close to the sidewall but rather closer to the middle of the tyre as this is known as the ‘minor repair area’. The plug will stop the tyre leaking pressure.
- Replacing tyres: Specialist tyre fitter will replace your old tyres with new tyres and while doing this, may offer a service of rotating your existing tyres so that the new tyres are placed in the front (where the heavier load is in the car with a seated driver and the engine and sometimes a passenger) and rotate the older tyres to the back. This is also because most cars are front wheel driven.
- Balancing: this can be done when replacing tyres or if you have hit a pavement or pothole hard, or driven 10,000 miles since your last balancing, it is a good idea to pull in to the tyre fitters to have your wheels re-balanced. Wheel balancing is an inexpensive way of keeping your car and tyres in peak performance.
- Wheel alignment: again like having balanced your wheels, this is good to have the tyres re-aligned when having new tyres fitted as this ensures that your car drives straight without pulling to one side as it is making sure the tyres are all sitting in a decent position to each other and the road.
