From manoeuvring your vehicle through tight corners to providing excellent grip on wet roads, tyres of your car play some of the most crucial roles in driving. With these critical responsibilities on the shoulders of your tyres, you would not want them to run out of the wheels in the middle of the road. Tyre fitted in haste can lead to dangerous situations like this. Therefore, one must carefully choose the right garage for the fitting of their tyres. Taking time out to find a caring garage can help you save highly on uneven tyre wearing and other damages.

Tyre fitting is an essential process for the successful replacement of tyres. It will not matter what your tyres are promised to offer when they have not been fitted accurately. We strictly suggest you not to install your tyres on your own. Take the help of an expert before making any drastic decisions.

When you come to a tyre fitter, you will find him performing the following steps:

Old tyre removal: It is obvious that no new tyres can be fitted on the wheels that already have old rubbers on them. Therefore, the first step, of course, will be to remove the old tyres from the wheels. To do this, the expert will jack up your car and after removing the wheels from the car will deflate your tyres. The next step is the use of a bead breaker to detach the tyres from the wheels. Now the mounting machine will be used to remove the balancing weight from the rims. Once done, the wheels will be ready for new tyres.

Fitting the new ones: Tyre grease is applied to the new tyres and also on the wheels. Grease will help the tyres to slip better onto the rims of the wheels. The rims will be clamped to the mounting arm of the fitting machine that will help in the fitting of your new tyres. Once the tyres are pushed onto the wheels, they are inflated to safer levels.

Things to do after mounting is done:

To ensure a long life of tyres, it is a must to get your wheels aligned and balanced once the mounting process is completed. This will help your tyres to avoid uneven wearing. Uneven wearing is the primary cause of the early need for tyre replacement. Aligning your wheels will assist your tyres in wearing out evenly.

Why should you get your tyres replaced?

The government of the UK can fine you if your tyres have a tread depth below 1.6mm. Tyre safety is significantly compromised when the tread depth falls below 1.6mm. Further, our experts recommend you to maintain your treads above 3mm for ultimate traction.
