Stay Safe with the Right Tyres
Tyres – Supply, Fitting, Balancing & Repairs
Your tyres are the only part of your car that touch the road — so grip, braking, and fuel economy all depend on them. At Freelance Mechanics, we supply and fit budget, mid-range, and premium tyres for all makes and models, with fast turnaround and honest pricing.
Not all punctures mean you need a new tyre. Our technicians can examine your flat tyre and let you know if it can be repaired.
If you have a nail or screw in the main tread region of the tyre, i.e. the part that touches the road, then there’s a real chance we can repair it for you.

Do I Need New Tyres? A Simple 5-Step Check
You can do these quick checks at home in a few minutes:
Place a 20p coin into the tyre’s main grooves.
If you can see the outer band of the coin, your tread may be below 1.6mm (the UK legal minimum).
Under 3mm? Consider replacing soon for better wet-weather braking.
Look across the whole tyre: inner/outer edges, centre, and shoulders.
Inner/outer edge wear often points to misalignment.
Centre wear can indicate over-inflation; both edges can mean under-inflation.
Any cords or fabric visible = replace immediately.
Check sidewalls and tread for cuts, splits, bubbles, or blisters.
A bulge usually means internal damage from potholes or kerbs — unsafe to drive; replace right away.
Find the DOT date code (e.g., 2219 = week 22 of 2019).
Tyres older than 5–6 years can harden and lose grip, even with good tread. Consider replacing for safety.
Compare pressures to your car’s sticker (fuel flap/door jamb/handbook).
If the car pulls, vibrates, or feels sloppy in corners, you may need alignment, balancing, or replacement tyres.
