Experienced Tyre Specialists
With years of experience in tyre fitting and wheel alignment, our technicians are trained to spot issues that others might miss. We focus on maintaining your vehicle’s safety, handling, and fuel efficiency to ensure the best possible performance on the road.
Tyre Tread and Wear
Over time, tyre tread naturally wears down through regular driving, and factors such as driving style and road conditions can lead to uneven wear. The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm; however, we recommend replacing your tyres before reaching this limit to maintain optimal grip and control on the road. As tread becomes lower, it can wear more quickly and reduce your vehicle’s overall safety.
It’s also important to regularly inspect your tyres for damage. Issues such as bulges, cracks, or splits can significantly increase the risk of a blowout, so keeping an eye on tyre condition is essential for safe driving.
Wheel Alignment in Tavistock
Wheel alignment—often referred to as tracking—is essential for maintaining even tyre wear, improving handling, and extending the life of your tyres.
We recommend having your alignment checked every 6,000 miles, after replacing steering or suspension components, or if you notice any of the following signs of misalignment:
Uneven or excessive tyre wear
Vibrations through the steering wheel
Unusual noises when turning
Reduced fuel efficiency
Any of these symptoms can indicate that your wheels are out of alignment. It’s important to address this promptly, as driving with incorrect alignment can affect your vehicle’s handling and safety.
Ensuring both the front and rear wheels are properly aligned helps restore correct steering geometry and improves overall driving performance. Left uncorrected, poor alignment can lead to increased fuel consumption, premature tyre wear, and steering problems that could pose a risk to you and other road users.
