Why Are Tyres the Most Important Safety Component on Your Vehicle?

Tyres are the only contact point between your vehicle and the road. Their condition directly affects braking distance, cornering stability, fuel efficiency, and the risk of aquaplaning in wet conditions. UK law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre — driving below this limit is a criminal offence carrying penalty points per tyre.

At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we supply and fit tyres from budget to premium brands, carry out BSAU159-compliant puncture repairs, balance wheels on every new tyre fit, and replace TPMS sensors where required.

  • Legal minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm (we recommend replacing at 2–3 mm)
  • Tyres over 5–7 years old should be inspected regardless of tread depth
  • Under-inflation increases fuel consumption and causes shoulder wear
  • Sidewall bulges, cuts, or exposed cords require immediate replacement
  • Run-flat tyres should not be driven on after losing pressure (check TPMS)
  • Mismatched tyres on the same axle can cause handling instability

What Tyre Services Do We Offer at Our Uxbridge Workshop?

From a single puncture repair to a full set of four new tyres — we carry out all tyre-related work at our Lancaster Road workshop.

New Tyre Supply & Fitting

Budget, mid-range, and premium tyres for all car sizes and rim diameters. We check your vehicle's required load and speed rating and advise on the best option for your budget and driving needs.

Wheel Balancing

Dynamic wheel balancing carried out with every tyre fit using a calibrated computerised balancing machine. Eliminates steering vibration and uneven tyre wear caused by imbalanced wheel assemblies.

Puncture Repair

BSAU159-compliant puncture repairs where the damage is safely repairable. We assess every puncture honestly — sidewall damage or run-flat damage is not safely repairable and we'll explain why.

TPMS Sensor Replacement

Supply and fitment of replacement TPMS valve sensors for vehicles equipped with a Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. TPMS sensors must be compatible with your vehicle's OBD system — we check this before fitting.

Tyre Rotation

Moving tyres from one axle to another to equalise wear — particularly beneficial on front-wheel drive vehicles where front tyres wear faster. Typically carried out every 5,000–8,000 miles.

Free Tyre Inspection

Not sure if your tyres need replacing? Book a free tyre inspection at our Uxbridge workshop. We measure tread depth on all four tyres, check for sidewall damage, and check tyre age from the DOT code.

How Does Tyre Fitting Work at Courtwood Car Services?

1

Get Your Tyre Size

Your tyre size is printed on the sidewall (e.g. 205/55 R16 91V). Call 01895 236567 with your size and vehicle and we'll confirm availability and pricing same day.

2

Book a Fitting Slot

We offer same-day fitting in most cases. Book a slot by phone or online. Emergency puncture cases are prioritised — call us as early as possible.

3

Fit & Balance

Your new tyre is fitted, the tyre bead seated and inflated to the correct pressure, and the wheel dynamically balanced. TPMS sensor checked and reset if applicable.

4

Tread & Pressure Check

Before returning your keys, we check the pressure on all four tyres and record the tread depth. You leave with a complete picture of your vehicle's tyre condition.

Tyre Services in Uxbridge — Your Questions Answered

The legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK is 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre's width around the entire circumference. Driving on tyres below this limit is a criminal offence carrying penalty points per tyre — meaning all four under-limit tyres could result in a potential ban. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we check tyre tread depth at every service and MOT inspection using a calibrated tread depth gauge. We recommend replacing tyres when the depth reaches 2–3 mm — well before the legal minimum — as stopping distances increase significantly as tread depth reduces below 3 mm, particularly in wet conditions. Call 01895 236567 to book a free tyre inspection at our Uxbridge workshop.
At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we supply and fit tyres from a range of reputable manufacturers to suit all budgets. Our range includes premium brands such as Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Bridgestone, and Goodyear — which offer the best performance in wet conditions, shortest stopping distances, and longest tread life. We also stock quality mid-range brands including Hankook, Kumho, Falken, and Toyo — offering a good balance of performance and value. Budget options are available for drivers prioritising cost. We will always advise on the appropriate tyre for your vehicle, driving style, and budget. Fitting the correct load and speed rating for your vehicle is essential — we check this on every tyre job. Call 01895 236567 to discuss your requirements.
Yes — in many cases a puncture can be repaired rather than requiring full tyre replacement. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we carry out puncture repairs that comply with the British Standard BSAU159 repair guidelines. A safe puncture repair is only possible if the damage is located within the central three-quarters of the tread area, the puncture diameter does not exceed 6 mm, and the tyre has not been driven on while flat (which causes sidewall damage). Sidewall damage, run-flat damage, or damage to the tyre bead cannot be safely repaired and requires tyre replacement. We assess every puncture honestly — if repair is safe, we'll repair it; if not, we'll explain why and recommend the most cost-effective replacement. Call 01895 236567 for a same-day puncture assessment.
Tyre replacement intervals depend on mileage, driving style, and tyre quality — not time alone. A premium tyre in normal urban driving conditions around Uxbridge typically lasts 20,000 to 40,000 miles on the front axle (where wear is heavier) and longer on the rear. However, even if tread depth is acceptable, tyres should be replaced if they are more than five to seven years old due to rubber degradation — the age is moulded into the tyre sidewall as a four-digit DOT code (week and year of manufacture). Irregular wear caused by misalignment or incorrect inflation can dramatically shorten tyre life. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we check tread depth and tyre age at every inspection and advise you on replacement timing. Call 01895 236567 to book a free tyre check.
Wheel balancing involves mounting the wheel and tyre assembly on a balancing machine that spins it at speed and measures any weight imbalance. Adhesive or clip-on weights are then added at specific points on the rim to ensure the wheel rotates evenly. An unbalanced wheel causes vibration through the steering wheel, typically at speeds above 50–60 mph, and leads to uneven tyre wear — reducing tyre life and fuel efficiency. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, wheel balancing is carried out as standard whenever new tyres are fitted. If you are experiencing steering vibration and your tyres are relatively new, we recommend a balance check — weights can fall off over time. Call 01895 236567 to book a wheel balance check at our Uxbridge workshop.
The general recommendation is to replace tyres in axle pairs — both tyres on the front axle or both on the rear — to maintain balanced handling and braking performance. Fitting one new tyre alongside a worn tyre on the same axle can cause the vehicle to pull to one side under braking and may compromise stability in wet conditions. However, in some circumstances — such as a single puncture on a relatively new tyre — replacing just one tyre may be appropriate if the other tyre on the axle has sufficient tread depth. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we always measure the remaining tread on the paired tyre and advise you whether a single or paired replacement is appropriate for your specific situation. Call 01895 236567 for advice.
The correct tyre pressure for your vehicle is specified by the manufacturer and is typically found on a sticker inside the driver's door jamb, in the fuel filler flap, or in your vehicle handbook. It is not the maximum pressure printed on the tyre sidewall — that is the maximum safe inflation pressure, not the recommended operating pressure. Tyre pressure is usually quoted in bar or PSI and may differ for front and rear tyres, and for different load conditions. Running tyres under-inflated increases fuel consumption, reduces handling precision, and causes rapid shoulder wear. Over-inflated tyres reduce grip and cause excessive central tread wear. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge we check and adjust tyre pressures at every service and are happy to check them on request. Call 01895 236567.
Yes. Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge can supply and fit run-flat tyres (also known as RFT, SSR, or ZP tyres) for vehicles specified with run-flat technology — commonly found on BMW, Mini, Mercedes, and some other marques. Run-flat tyres have reinforced sidewalls that allow the vehicle to continue driving for a limited distance (typically up to 50 miles at reduced speed) after a pressure loss. Fitting run-flat tyres requires a tyre machine capable of handling their stiffer construction — which our workshop is equipped for. Important: run-flat tyres should only be fitted to vehicles equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). We also stock and fit TPMS-compatible replacement valve sensors where required. Call 01895 236567 to confirm availability of your specific run-flat size.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) is a mandatory safety feature on all cars first registered in the EU or UK after 2014. It monitors tyre pressures via sensors mounted in the wheel valves and alerts the driver via a dashboard warning light if any tyre drops significantly below the recommended pressure. If your TPMS light illuminates, you should check your tyre pressures as soon as safely possible — the cause is typically a slow puncture, a temperature-related pressure change, or a leaking valve stem. At Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge, we can diagnose TPMS faults, replace faulty TPMS sensors, and reset the system after a tyre replacement or pressure adjustment. TPMS sensors must be replaced when new tyres are fitted on some vehicles — we will advise you if this applies to your car. Call 01895 236567.
Fitting a single tyre at Courtwood Car Services in Uxbridge typically takes between 15 and 30 minutes including removal of the old tyre, fitting and seating the new tyre, wheel balancing, and refitting to the vehicle. Fitting a full set of four tyres usually takes between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours depending on vehicle access and TPMS requirements. We offer same-day fitting in most cases — call 01895 236567 to confirm availability for your specific tyre size and book a slot. We are open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 5:30pm. If you have a puncture emergency, call us first thing and we will do our best to accommodate you without a prior appointment.
