Tyres Changed on Your Drive in Yate
Yate and neighbouring Chipping Sodbury sit north of the M4, about ten miles out from central Bristol. The A432 is the main road through, running in from Bristol and turning into dual carriageway between Yate and Chipping Sodbury, and drivers reach the motorways at M4 junctions 18 and 19 to the south or M5 junction 14 to the north-west. It's commuter country: lots of cars head out early towards Bristol and the business parks around the city's northern edge.
A flat on a weekday morning can throw the whole day off. Instead of losing time at a fitting centre, call us and a mobile fitter will come to wherever the car is and change the tyre there. We work 24/7, and we aim to reach you within 60 minutes in most cases, depending on traffic and location.
Much of Yate is made up of residential estates with driveways and off-street parking, which makes for an easy job: the fitter pulls up, swaps the tyre and goes. In the older centre of Chipping Sodbury, where parking is tighter, we can still usually work at the car as long as it's safe to reach the wheel.

How Old Are Your Tyres? Check the Date Code
Plenty of households round here have a second car that does little more than the station run or the weekend shop. Low-mileage cars can keep plenty of tread for years, which hides the fact that the rubber is ageing. Old tyres harden, lose grip and can develop fine cracks in the sidewall and between the tread blocks.
Every tyre has a four-digit date code on the sidewall, near the letters DOT. The first two digits are the week and the last two the year, so 2219 means week 22 of 2019. Many manufacturers suggest having tyres inspected once they pass five years and replacing them by ten, whatever the tread looks like. If you spot cracking, get them checked before your next long drive.
The same goes for the spare. A full-size spare that has sat in the boot well since the car was new may look perfect yet be well past its best. If you're ever relying on it to get home, treat it as a short-term fix, keep speeds down, and arrange a proper replacement for the damaged tyre as soon as you can.
