About Us

Tyres.co.uk was built because buying tyres had become more frustrating than it needed to be. The price you see is the one you pay. The garage is one you choose. And when you need a person, you get one who knows tyres. That was the idea at the start, and it still is.

We created Tyres.co.uk to give drivers total confidence when choosing tyres.

Tyres made simple - the Tyres.co.uk story

Buying tyres online should be simple. For years it was not. You found a price you were happy with, reached the checkout and found a different one, usually because the fitting had never been included, which nobody had thought to mention. The booking went off somewhere, and the garage you had chosen knew nothing about it. And when something went wrong, nobody would say whose job it was to put right. So it became yours.

Nobody buys tyres for fun. You buy them because you have to. The MOT tester has failed two of them, or the tread has worn thin with winter coming, or a puncture has found you at the worst moment, which is the only moment punctures know. Whatever brought you here, it matters. Your tyres decide how your car stops and how it holds the road, for you, your passengers and everyone around you.

Tyres.co.uk was built for you.

So we built the service we wished had existed. The full fitted price appears on the first search, before you have given us anything beyond your registration, which is rather the point of a price. The garage is yours to choose, and if you already have one you trust, there is a good chance it is in our network. And a team here takes ownership of your booking from the moment you place it until the tyres are on the car, so you never have to chase anyone. None of it is clever. It had just never been done properly, which is a different thing.

Today there are more than 700 approved fitting partners across the UK, and wherever you live there is usually one you have driven past without noticing, possibly for years. Most customers pick a garage near home and a time that fits around their day. Some book near work instead. Some skip the garage entirely and have the tyres delivered. That suits us fine.

Tyres are not just about cars. They are about the people inside them.

We run things the way a good family business does, where somebody knows about every job going through, but with the systems you need to cover the whole country. So we stay involved in every booking. We coordinate the details ourselves rather than handing them on. We keep watch on how each garage performs, and one that keeps letting customers down does not stay on the list, however convenient its postcode.

And when you need help, you get a person here who takes the problem on and stays with it until it is solved.

Garage fitting near you

Most customers prefer their tyres fitted at a garage they already know, which we understand, since we would too. With more than 700 approved fitting partners across the UK there is a good chance yours is one of them, and if not there will be one close to home or work. You choose the time as well. Nobody rings afterwards to move it.

Your tyres arrive at the garage before you do, so they are waiting when you pull in, which is more than can be said for most appointments. The price you paid already covers the fitting, the balancing, new rubber valves and taking the old tyres away for disposal. There is nothing for the garage to add on the day, which is rather the point of paying up front.

Fitting at home or work

In selected areas we can bring the fitting to you. If you cannot get away, or an hour in a waiting room is not how you want to spend a morning, a trained mobile fitter does the work on your driveway or in the car park at work while you carry on with your day. All it needs is somewhere safe and level to work. That is the only condition.

It is the same tyres, the same standard of work. It has simply come to you rather than the other way round.

Delivered to your door

If you would rather arrange the fitting yourself, choose mail order delivery at the checkout. The tyres are sent to your home, or to another address if that suits you better, with tracking updates, so nobody has to wait in all day for a van that arrives at ten past five.

That tends to suit people with a mechanic they have trusted for years, or anyone with a few vehicles to keep on the road at once, which is its own kind of job.

The Tyres.co.uk Team

No two people on this team arrived by the same route, and that was deliberate. Some of us built and ran online automotive platforms and publications. Some spent years on a workshop floor, fitting tyres and inspecting them. A few owned or managed garages, so they know what actually goes wrong with cars, as opposed to what the manual says should. A couple looked after national supply and UK logistics. And two people here do nothing all day except confirm that the tyre matched to a registration is the right one for that car and safe to fit. Between them, there is not much in the UK tyre trade they have not seen. So we do not guess. When there is a decision to make about a tyre, somebody here has faced it before, probably more than once.

Why Drivers Trust Tyres.co.uk

Trust is not something we get to claim. You decide to give it, one order at a time, and you can take it back just as quickly. Our safety standards, the way we show a price, all of it exists so you feel certain about what you are buying. Nothing more than that, and nothing less.

Safety Comes First

Tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road. Braking, grip and control all come down to them, and there is no backup if they let go. So we treat every order as a safety decision. We only list tyres we would be happy to fit to our own cars, and the choice in front of you when you book is built around that, not around whatever happened to be cheapest that week.

Clear, Honest Pricing

You should know exactly what you are paying before you confirm anything, and you will. The price is clear from the first search and it does not move at the checkout. There is no need to go back and check the total. It will be the same figure it was. This is why we're one of the most popular and loved tyre retailers in the UK.

Trusted Local Fitting Nationwide

You choose from more than 700 approved fitting partners across the UK. Every garage on the list was vetted before it joined, for its equipment, the skill of its technicians and how reliable it has proved to be. When you book through us, your car is going to people who have done this a great many times before.

Expertise You Can Rely On

Enter your registration and the tyres are matched using accurate vehicle fitment data. Load ratings, speed ratings, compatibility, all of it is dealt with in the background, so the tyres you book are the ones your car was designed to run on. It saves a lot of checking on your part, and a lot of wrong sizes being ordered.

Hassle-Free Fitting

When you book local fitting, your tyres are sent ahead of your appointment so they are there when you arrive. Would you rather have them delivered to your home, or to a garage you already use? That works too, with tracking and updates along the way so you know where they are. We keep an eye on it behind the scenes, so the fitting is one less thing to think about, which on the day is usually what people want.

Always Here to Help

When you contact Tyres.co.uk, you speak to someone who understands tyres and understands bookings, and ideally both at once. It might be before ordering, changing an appointment or after fitting. We listen, we answer properly, and if something needs resolving we stay with it until it is. That part is not optional. We're here for you, every step of the way.
