Enter your postcode at checkout and the 24 garages closest to you are listed first, along with their free slots.
What should I bring on the day in Newcastle upon Tyne, or is it all handled?
The key for the locking wheel nuts, if yours has them, together with the TyresNewcastleUponTyne.uk booking email, and that is it. Your centre already holds the rest, including your tyres, wherever in and around Newcastle upon Tyne you booked.
Do any of the centres offer fitting at my home or work in and around Newcastle upon Tyne, and which centres do it?
Yes, Mobile Tyres By Andy: a mobile fitter within the 24 centres around Newcastle upon Tyne. Opt for one of them at checkout: the fitter drives to your door here in Newcastle upon Tyne, for the price you compared.
At what point should a tyre be replaced, and how do I measure it, before it fails an MOT?
By law a tyre needs 1.6 mm of tread across the middle three-quarters of the tyre, and wet braking suffers a good while earlier. Most people in Newcastle upon Tyne do not wait for 1.6 mm, and a 20p tells you at a glance. Whatever the reading, cracks and bulges call for a replacement, and any centre will check.
Which tyres make sense for the conditions on Newcastle upon Tyne roads, and when does it change?
Newcastle upon Tyne has a shortish summer, pleasant while it lasts, set against cold winters with plenty of rain, with frost on the roads most weeks from November to March in most years, so one compound rarely suits all of it. Newcastle upon Tyne suits summer tyres May to October, and winter tyres November to March, or one set of all-season tyres does the whole year. TyresNewcastleUponTyne.uk keeps a page on each type with the current Newcastle upon Tyne forecast beside it, kept up to date hour by hour.
