Have you checked your tyre tread recently?

At our Tyres Strood Elite Garages fitment centre, safety is paramount to us as we’re sure it is to you, your passengers and other road users. Don’t wait until your MOT to check the tread depth; do it now or visit any of our branches for a FREE tyre check.

We know it’s easy to get complacent with the hustle and bustle of everyday life but tyre experts recommend that you should check your tyres at least once a month. Tyres play a vital role in how well your car grips the road and without sufficient tyre tread, your car will handle poorly.

In addition to better grip and improved safety, quality tyres with sufficient tread will also help with fuel economy. Why wait until your tread is too low; rather order your tyres online and replace them before they get damaged.

Have you noticed the writing on your tyres? The new tyre labelling is based on European regulations focusing on driver education to help them make more informed decisions when buying tyres. This refers to fuel efficiency, quality and the importance of finding the right tyre size for your car.

Knowing your tyre size is important especially when buying new tyres. It’s not uncommon that many people don’t know their tyre size but that’s where Elite Garages come in. Looking at a tyre with the numbers, 215/60 R 15 91 H, what exactly do they mean?

Did you know that one of the primary reasons tyres need replacing is due to uneven tread wear? Both under-inflated and over-inflated tyres can affect handling and grip, making your car unstable and increase braking distance. In many cases, low tyre pressure can wear out your tyres faster, resulting in increased rolling resistance, reduced fuel efficiency and increased emissions. It’s really important to keep your tyre pressure at the right level otherwise your car may behave erratically. There is loads more useful information here on our Tyre Pressure page or if you're ready to buy your tyres now you can check out the best ones for your vehicle and pricing here, on Reserve Tyres or alternatively, visit any of our centres for a FREE tyre check.

Can my tyre be repaired?

Our tyre repair policy adheres to the British Standard, BSAU159 which defines the limits to the location, size and number of repairs allowed. It also suggests recommended materials to use for the puncture repair. In addition, the BSAU159 also indicates requirements for a safe, minor car tyre puncture repair and its proximity to the sidewall.

To remain compliant, we only carry out a tyre repair to the central tread area of the tyre, also known as the minor repair area. If the puncture is located outside of this area, it is deemed too close to the sidewall to guarantee a safe and sustainable minor tyre repair. Find out more about your options on our Tyre Repair page.

A new tyre should be ready to offer you maximum grip and optimum performance. All new tyres (especially mud & snow tyres) should be run in for the first 150 to 200 miles at medium speed on dry roads, in order to abrade the tread surface. Find out more about this subject on our dedicated Running in Tyres page.

Run flat tyres are a pneumatic vehicle tyre designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured and enables the vehicle to continue driving at reduced speeds. The tyres temporarily maintain their shape and strength even if there is a total loss of tyre pressure. They allow you to drive for 50 miles at 50mph so that you can safely get home or to the nearest garage. Run flat tyres give you the peace of mind knowing that you won’t be left stranded. If you consider convenience and safety as paramount, it is certainly worth the investment. Find out why they might be right for you by visiting our dedicated Run Flat Tyres page.

The main difference between normal summer tyres and winter tyres is quite simple. Summer tyres work well in dry conditions but stiffen up when it is cold. Winter tyres consist of a special rubber with a high silica content and a deeper tread pattern designed to remain flexible in low temperatures. This means that your vehicle offers better grip for braking and handling on snow, ice and wet roads in conditions below 7°C. They are also specially designed to perform better with frost, slush and mud. Find out more on our dedicated Winter Tyres page.
