How is tyre fitting in Basildon done?
Tyre Balancing
What is tyre balancing?
Wheel balancing is a crucial part of tyre fitting in Basildon. It is a technique used to ensure that the weight is distributed equally around the wheel and that the tyre rotates evenly. If your tyres are not correctly balanced, you may feel vibrations when driving and your tyres, suspension and steering components may be worn prematurely.
How are wheels balanced?
We add small balancing weights to the rim of the wheel to counterweight any inconsistencies. If an imbalance is identified, wheel weights are added to even out the distribution of weight.
When should tyres be changed?
Tyre fitting in Basildon should be completed if your tyres wear below the legal minimum tread depth of 1.6mm or are already below this. Speak to us today for our professional tyre fitting in Basildon.
Why are healthy tyres important?
- Keep you safe
Out tyres in Wickford are designed to keep you safe on the road. Your tyres are the only contact between you and the road, and the air inside them supports the weight of your vehicle. Poor or faulty tyres can impact your stopping distance, increase the risk of skidding, lead to blowouts and more.
- Absorb road shocks
The air or nitrogen within your tyres acts as a spring, therefore healthy and well-maintained tyres are designed to absorb road shocks. In addition to increasing your comfort when driving, this goes a long way in protecting your vehicle and its performance.
- Better handling
Our tyres in Wickford ensure that the handling and steering of your vehicle are functioning as they should. Poor or damaged tyres can change the angle of your steering which, as well as being frustrating, is highly dangerous.
- Saves you money
In addition to poor performance, underinflated or worn tyres increase fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. This means that you will be paying more to fill up at a petrol station as well as impacting the environment.

Wheel Tracking
What is wheel tracking?
Wheel tracking, or wheel alignment, is a service to ensure your vehicle’s wheels are set to the correct position according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Wheels can easily become misaligned when driving due to potholes, speed bumps and more. Unfortunately, this can lead to uneven tyre wear, the car pulling to the left or right, and uneven braking.
How is wheel tracking done?
Using specialist alignment equipment, we will check the direction and angle of your vehicle’s wheels. If they are misaligned, we will adjust the tie rods and control arms to correct them.
Turn-On Rims
What are turn-on rims?
A turn-on rim is a process used to demount and refit a tyre after being turned around. This means that the inner and outer lanes of the tread are swapped over. This is done for several reasons including rectifying scuffing, balancing irregular, sloped or shoulder wear and troubleshooting minor damage. This process works to prolong the life of your tyres.
How are turn-on rims fitted?
Our mechanics will check your vehicle for signs of unbalanced and irregular wear and scuffing, before advising on where a turn-on rim is required.
