Tyre Doctor FAQs

Tyre Doctor: what is it?

Tyre Doctor is the AI assistant for tyre questions on Tyres.co.uk, available 24/7. Write about pressure, wear, damage, markings or what tyres to buy and it answers based on our guides and our live catalogue, and shows the guides it used for you to read more.

How does a chat work?

Write a question, or your registration. First comes the answer, then the guides it used and what it looked up for you. Write follow-up questions in the same chat: it remembers your car and tyre size until you start a new chat or close the tab.

Is it free, and how many questions can I ask?

Yes, it is free. Without an account you can ask 3 questions a day. Sign in to a free Tyres.co.uk account and you can ask 20 a day, with a maximum of 150 a month. Your allowance resets at the beginning of each day.

Can it tell me which tyres fit my car?

Yes. Tell it your registration number and it looks up the car and shows you tyres that fit, with fitted prices. If your car can have more than one tyre size it asks which one is fitted rather than guessing, because having the wrong load rating is an MOT fail, not just bad tyres.

Can it tell me whether my tyre is safe?

It can explain what a bulge, a crack, a nail or uneven wear usually means, and whether that would normally require a repair or replacement. It can’t see your tyre, though, so any information about safety needs to be verified by someone who can. Fitting centres will check for free.

What can’t it do?

It can’t see your tyres, look up or change an order, or book a fitting for you. Orders should be dealt with by customer services. To book, follow the tyres it finds you to the results page, where you choose a fitting centre and a time slot.

Still have a question?

Tyre Doctor gives AI guidance based on the Tyres.co.uk guides and catalogue. It cannot see your tyres, so anything it says about damage or safety should be confirmed by a physical inspection.
