Original Equipment Tyres

What type of tyres to choose? The tyre you need depends greatly on the kind of car you drive and the type of driving you do. If you drive short distances in and around town on the school run or to the local shops then economy and safety will be a primary concern when choosing a tyre. If you do a lot of motorway driving then low noise, comfort and fuel saving might be factors in helping you find the right tyre. Drivers with luxury cars and sports cars will be interested in high-performance tyres, which offer precision handling, excellent traction and manoeuvrability at speed.

At Fastlane Autocare, we can advise you on the right car tyre for your driving requirements, and at a low tyre price that won't break your budget. If you are looking to find a mobile tyre fitter in Manchester you are in the best place

Tyre Safety

Tyres are one of the most important components of a vehicle. The tyre tread area making contact with the road is relatively small– only about the size of the palm of your hand - so if your tyres are worn or damaged it can seriously affect your car's safety and handling. Not only that, if your tyres don't meet legal requirements, you could face a fine of £2500 per tyre and 3 penalty points on your licence.

That's why it's important to check tyre tread depth, general tyre condition and tyre pressure to ensure your tyres are safe for the roads.

Tread depth must be above the legal minimum of 1.6mm throughout a continuous strip in the centre three-quarters of the tread and around the entire tyre circumference. At National, we support the 3mm campaign which recommends motorists replace their tyres when the tread reaches 3mm for utmost safety when driving especially in the wet at high speeds.

Tyres must be correctly inflated according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations in the vehicle handbook. Over-inflated tyres cause excess wear, shortening tyre life and can result in an uncomfortable ride; under-inflated tyres result in increased fuel consumption and faster wear of the tread shoulders plus an increased chance of impact damage.

You should also inspect the general condition of your tyre for any sign of bumps, bulges or cuts which could cause a blow out when driving.

We recommend that you check tyre tread depth, condition and pressure on a monthly basis and before any long journeys – and if in doubt, call us directly on 07943 185471

Top 10 Questions About Tyres

• How do I know when my tyres need to be replaced? - If you notice that your car is not performing as well in wet weather, that it doesn't handle or grip, or takes longer to stop when you brake then your tyres may need replacing. As tyre wear is a gradual process it can be hard to tell when your tyre needs changing which is why we recommend monthly tyre checks.

• How do I measure tread depth? - A quick and simple way to check your tread depth is with a 20p coin. Insert the coin into the tread grooves at three separate places on your tyre. If you can see the outer rim of the 20p piece, then this could indicate that your thread is close to or below the legal minimum of 1.6mm. Another way to check tread wear is the Tread Wear Indicators (TWIs) which many manufacturers now include within the tyre grooves. When the TWI is worn down, it indicates that the tread may be nearing the legal limit. However, we do recommend that if in any doubt, you give our tyre technicians a call to help you.

• How important is tyre pressure? - The correct tyre pressure is very important; it helps your tyres last longer, provides a smooth, more comfortable ride and makes your fuel go that bit further, so the right tyre pressure helps you save money as well as improving safety. It also reduces carbon dioxide emissions which protects the environment. Did you know that 37% of cars run on tyres which are dangerously under-inflated? The correct inflation for these vehicles would save £440 million per year!

• Should I repair a puncture? - Punctures can be repaired providing they can be legally repaired to Standard. We can advise if your tyre can be repaired or not.

• Can I replace only one tyre at a time? - It's best to replace all four tyres at the same time; however, this isn't always necessary if only one tyre is worn or damaged. However, it can be beneficial replacing two tyres at a time and as a pair, either the front two tyres or the rear two tyres, for optimum handling and grip on each axle. Uneven wear on tyres can also make your tracking feel out which affects your steering.

• What are Run Flat tyres and how do I know if my tyre is one? - Run Flat tyres are specially designed to allow you to drive for a short distance with a puncture, even when the tyre is completely flat. This is a temporary, emergency measure allowing the driver to get to a safe place to repair or replace the tyre. Run Flat tyres should not be driven above 30mph and for no longer than 50 miles.

Our tyre technicians who are based in Manchester will advise you what you need and offer you the cheapest tyre price possible.

Manufacturers include markings on the tyre tread to identify it as a Run Flat tyre; these differ from one tyre manufacturer to another. Common Run Flat markings include:

• SSR - Continental's Self Supporting Run Flat Tyres (SSR)
• ZP - Michelin's Zero Pressure Self Supporting Run Flat Tyres (SSTs).
• Euforia (RSC) - Pirelli Run on Flat System Component (RSC)
• RFT - Bridgestone Run Flat Technology (RFT)
• RSC/RunOnFlat - Dunlop Run Flat System Component (RSC)
• RSC/RunOnFlat - Goodyear Run on Flat System Component (RSC)

• ROF – EMT - Goodyear RunOnFlat Extended Mobility Technology (ROF or EMT)

• Can Run Flat tyres be repaired? - We do not recommend that Run Flat tyres are repaired after running in a deflated condition as the structural integrity of the tyre could be compromised which could lead to tyre failure.

• Should I fit winter tyres? - Winter tyres are specially designed to perform in wet, icy weather and very low temperatures, as well as snowy conditions. They contain a higher percentage of rubber than standard tyres to ensure they maintain grip in low temperatures. More and more people are opting to fit winter tyres, especially after the severe winters we have experienced in the UK over the last few years. Winter tyres could be a valuable asset if you live in a remote location which is hit with severe winter weather or if you do a lot of driving. However, it is important to remember that regular tyre tread, pressure and general condition checks are essential for safety when driving, whatever tyres you have fitted.

• Tyre Sidewall - What do the markings on my tyre sidewall mean? The sides of your tyres are marked with a code which identifies your tyre size. Here's a simple guide to help you identify the right tyres for your vehicle.

This is the tyre manufacturer or brand name, e.g. Bridgestone, Pirelli, Michelin etc.

This is your tyre size - you need to take note of this to make sure you get the correct size of tyre to fit your vehicle.

• 215 is the width in millimetres of the tyre's cross-section.
• 55 is the 'aspect ratio' – the ratio of the sidewall height to the tyre's cross-section width.
• R stands for radial-ply construction (nearly all tyres are of radial-ply construction).
• 17 stands for the diameter (in inches) of the wheel that the tyre is designed to fit.
• 3 - 96 is the load index which corresponds to the maximum load a tyre can carry at full speed

Being able to identify the tyre size, load index and speed rating allows you to choose the correct tyre for your vehicle. And for us to find the right tyre for your vehicle quickly.

Additional Markings - Tyres have a number of additional markings, including dot codes and also fitment codes.

Dot Codes and Tyre Age - Each tyre carries a DOT code comprising of 11 or 12 letters and numbers. The last four digits identify the age of the tyre, e.g. '0102' shows that the tyre was manufactured in the first week of 2002. Date of manufacture is important because as tyres get older they deteriorate – even if they have been hardly used. For example, vintage cars or caravans which are stored for long periods and not driven regularly could deteriorate over time. When this happens the tyres need to be replaced. If you are unsure, ask for your free tyre check with us today.

Fitment Codes - Fitments codes are stamped on the tyre to help identify any special features making it better suited for certain driving styles or vehicles, e.g. if your tyre is stamped with 'MS' this means that it is suitable for mud and snow conditions. See the list below for common fitment codes and an explanation of what they mean:

• RE - Reinforced
• RF - Run Flat
• XL - Extra Load
• WW - White Wall
• OW - Outline White Lettering
• MS - Mud and Snow
• AS - Asymmetric
• NO - Porsche Fitment
• N1 - Porsche Fitment
• N2 - Porsche Fitment
• N3 - Porsche Fitment
• C1 - Chrysler Fitment
• K1 - Ferrari Fitment
• B - Audi/Bentley/Continental GT Fitment
• G1 - Various Fitment
• A - Renault Espace 4 Fitment
• MO - Mercedes Fitment
• J - Jaguar Fitment
• 6PR - 6 Ply
• 8PR - 8 Ply
• 10PR - 10 Ply

Why upsize tyres? - Changing or upsizing your tyres is one of the simplest ways to upgrade the performance of your vehicle as well as improve the aesthetics.

While the manufacturer selects the correct tyre for your vehicle, the decision can be a compromise between performance, noise and comfort. Therefore upsizing your tyres can provide the following benefits:

• Improved response to change in direction
• Greater contact area with the ground for a smoother ride
• Improved traction
• Better control and handling
• A sleeker, more modern appearance
