Expect to be without your vehicle for approximately 30 to 60 minutes to fit all four wheels. This is dependent on workshop demand and your wheel condition. Fitting one or two wheels at a time is normally much quicker. Wheel balance is included in the price and is normally a simple and quick process.
Availability is also dependent on parts and fitter availability. The good news is that we can normally fit most sizes quickly. When you search by registration or size, you can check the availability of our partners’ fitting times that are closest to you. The sooner you book, the more chance you’ll get the next available time.
If your vehicle came with run-flat tyres, we would recommend these are fitted in place of the original run-flat tyres unless a specialist approves alternative fitment. Run-flat tyres are designed with an inner support and work in conjunction with the vehicle’s suspension, tyre pressure monitoring systems and other systems. Fitment of other types, brands or designs may compromise safety and comfort of the vehicle.
Issues with steering (off centre, pulls, etc.), drifting (vehicle pulls on a straight road), or irregular tyre wear may also be a result of misalignment. Misalignment may also lead to unnecessary rapid wear of new tyres. Most fitment centres can adjust tracking and alignment in the same appointment.
Follow the pressures from the manufacturer. Disregard the number on the tyre sidewall. The best time to check tyre pressure is when the tyre is cold, either when you check the tyres once a month or before a long road trip. Keeping the proper air pressure in the tyres increases safety due to better grip during braking and sensitivity on slippery surfaces. Air pressure also helps improve fuel economy. Finally, it also reduces uneven wear on the tyres.
