You may need new tyres if you spot some or all of the following:
Low tread depth. Check the tread depth of your tyres using the 20p test. If the tread depth is below the legal minimum of 3mm (or less than the outer rim of a 20p coin), it’s time to get a replacement.
Cracking. Inspect the tyre and sidewalls for visible cracks, as these can indicate ageing and potential structural damage.
Flat tyre. Some slow punctures are easily fixed — but not all flat tyres can be repaired. A technician will be able to assess the damage and tell you if a repair would be feasible (or even legal!).
Flat spots or ‘balding’. This is common when a vehicle sits for a long time. The weight of the vehicle can lead to ‘bald’ spots on the tyre, compromising performance and sometimes making driving quite dangerous.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s worth checking in with your local Kwik Fit to see if you need a tyre replacement.
It may surprise you to hear that not all cars come with a spare wheel! Take a look in your car’s boot – is there a spot where a tyre should clearly be? If not, it’s highly likely that your car is fitted with run-flats. Find more information on spare wheels here.
For one, if you don’t have a spare tyre (or obvious space for one) in the boot, that’s a pretty good indicator your car has run-flat tyres.
You’ll also be able to tell from the markings on the sidewall of your tyres. If they’re run-flat tyres, they may be marked with a code like ‘ROF’, ‘EMT’, ‘ZP’, or ‘ZPS’. Learn more about identifying run-flat tyres here.
Misaligned suspension or wheel alignment. This can lead to uneven tyre wear.
Tracking. If incorrect, it can cause rapid and uneven wear.
Driving habits. Heavy braking, sharp turns, and aggressive driving can all accelerate wear.
Tyre maintenance. If tyres aren’t maintained properly – for example, they are under- or over-inflated – they can wear unevenly. This will also impact your fuel efficiency!
Road conditions. Debris, potholes, and rough roads can contribute to wear.
Some of the most common tyre issues to keep an eye out for include flats, punctures, slow punctures, the presence of foreign objects, corroded alloys, and damaged valves. The best way to stay on top of tyre maintenance is simply to pay attention to your tyres — take a look at their condition every week or so and head to a local garage if you’re unsure of anything or notice any damage.
The longevity of tyres depends on a variety of factors, like driving conditions and maintenance. Most tyres have a maximum shelf life of 10 years, but will generally need replacing sooner. Front tyres should be changed after 20,000 miles, while rear tyres can typically last a little longer – around 40,000 miles. Premium tyres, from brands like Pirelli, Michelin, and Continental are known for their superior durability and tend to outlast budget brands, making them a reliable choice in the long term.
Please make sure you bring your locking wheel nut key along for your appointment. If you have locking wheel nuts fitted, we will need the key in order to remove the wheels from your car. The locking wheel nut key can usually be found in the glove box or underneath the boot liner along with the spare tyre.
If you have booked in advance, fitting usually takes less than an hour and you are welcome to wait in-centre while the tyres are fitted.
All tyres fitted at a Kwik Fit centre are covered by a lifetime mileage warranty that protects against manufacturing defects. Because of the breadth of possibilities for tyre damage while driving, we're not able to guarantee the tyre condition – but you can opt for TyreCare insurance from as little as £5.99 per tyre. This covers you for any accidental or malicious damage to the tyre.
Different cars need different tyres to meet their unique requirements: 4x4s, for example, need tyres with large tread in order to maintain grip in off-road conditions. Approved Fitment tyres, also known as Homologated tyres, are designed by a tyre manufacturer in partnership with your car's brand and intended to be the perfect fitment for everything your car's designed to do.
Most cars have a variety of recommended tyre fitments so it's not possible to say what size tyres you have fitted just based on your car's make and model. The best way to find out is to look at the tyres themselves, the markings on the side of the tyre give you everything you need to know – here's what the markings mean.
This depends a lot on the tyre itself, the conditions you drive in, how you drive, and how often you drive. Tyres wear through overuse but can also crack and perish through lack of use in hot-cold seasons like spring & autumn. The rule of thumb is that a tyre should last around 20,000 miles before it needs to be replaced due to general wear and tear.
It is strongly advised that the type, size, and tread pattern of the front and rear tyres match. This is why we recommend replacing your tyres in axel pairs. Whether your vehicle is front or rear wheel drive, if you only need to change one tyre, it should be mounted on the back axle.
Yes, using the proper tyres can improve the handling, grip, and fuel efficiency of your vehicle. It's important to remember that different tyres are made for different weather situations and driving styles. We recommend checking your car's manual or getting in touch with the tyre experts at your local Kwik Fit to ensure you're using the right tyres for your vehicle.
Tyre Information Hub
At Kwik Fit, we understand that when you have a problem with a tyre you want a quality service, expert advice, value for money and the convenience of a local solution available 7-days-a-week.
We also appreciate that choosing the right tyre can be confusing, from choosing the right size, to selecting a tyre and brand that will be fit for purpose from the extensive range available. To help you, our tyre experts have developed some general information to help you look after your tyres.
When you think about it, your tyres are the only point of contact your vehicle has with the road. That’s why it’s vitally important that you select the right tyre type for the vehicle you are driving and for the purpose it is being used. We believe that motorists should get in to a habit of checking all four tyres every two weeks for correct tyre pressure, tread wear and general condition; and if you have one, don’t forget to check the spare tyre too.
0800 75 76 77 You can reach our customer care team 6 days a week from 9:00am to 6:00pm on Monday and Thursday, 8:30am to 6:00pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm Saturday, and 10:00am to 4:00pm on Bank Holidays.
Finding Your Tyre Size
Tyre Size
Your tyre size can be found on the sidewall of your current tyre and is a sequence of numbers and letters. The most common tyre size in the UK is 205/55R16 but there are many variations so it’s important to check your existing tyre first before searching for tyres.
Tip: Take a photo of your existing tyre sidewall to make it easier to identify your tyre size using the guide below.
The first three digits. This displays the width of the tyre in millimetres. A tyre marked 225 will measure 225mm across the tread from sidewall to sidewall.
Aspect Ratio
The fourth and fifth digits of the tyre code that immediately follow the tyre width. The aspect ratio or profile height of the tyre sidewall is expressed as a percentage of the tyre width. So an aspect ratio of 55 for example means that the profile height of the tyre is 55% of its width.
Rim Diameter
The next two digits represent the size of the wheel rim that the tyre can be fitted to. It is also the diameter of the tyre from bead to bead. So a tyre marked 16 will fit on a 16-inch wheel rim.
Speed Rating
The speed rating of a tyre is represented by a letter of the alphabet at the end of the tyre size code and indicates the maximum speed capability of the tyre. Tyres receive a speed rating based on a series of tests which measure the tyres capability to handle a set speed for a prolonged period of time.
Select your tyre speed rating to find out the maximum speed your tyres can maintain.
If you are unsure what speed rating you need, be sure to check your vehicle handbook. Choosing a lower speed rating than that recommended by your vehicle manufacturer could potentially invalidate your insurance.
Load Rating
The load index provides information on the maximum weight capability for the tyre. The load index is a numerical code that can be located just after the tyre size marking and before the speed rating.
Select your load index to find out the maximum load capability for your tyres.
Although not illegal, it is not advisable to have tyres with a lower speed rating or load index than the manufacturer recommended tyre specification for your vehicle, or to have a combination of different tyre construction types. Consult your vehicle handbook to confirm your vehicle’s tyre speed rating and load index as well as any additional requirements.
