Tyre Safety - Top tips to keep your tyres safe.
Check your pressures

  •  You'll find the recommended pressures inside the drivers' manual. Check the pressure when the tyre is cold, as even a short journey will warm up tyres and raise the pressure.
  • Under-inflation can cause tyre damage, uneven wear, and an increase in fuel consumption.
  • Over inflated tyres give a less comfortable ride and wear out in the centre of the tread. 
  • Check the pressure in the spare tyre to ensure it's ready in an emergency.

Check your tread

Worn tyres means less grip.

 Abnormal or uneven wear can often be an indication of a mechanical defect on the vehicle. In these circumstances the mechanical parts (steering, wheel alignment, brakes) 
should be checked immediately.

 Suspect a puncture?

 Damage caused by driving over a pothole, kerbing or small, sharp foreign objects, 
all contribute to a slow puncture.

 TD Garage Services offer a puncture repair service for only £15.00 + vat per tyre, which includes valve and standard balance. Before repairing any tyre, we will carry out certain mandatory checks to ensure that your tyre is suitable to be safely repaired.
 We can supply any brand & any size for any vehicle – contact us today for a quotation.

Wheel Balancing

Unbalanced wheels will affect the comfort of your ride as they can lead to premature 
wear of many vehicle components.

Unbalanced wheels may not be noticed by the driver because modern suspension systems are very efficient at dampening out vibration. This is why any vibration felt by the driver could be an indication that one or more of the wheels need balancing.

Td garage services offers a precision wheel balancing service to ensure your wheels are balanced to match your vehicle’s specification. This procedure provides a more accurate balance that ultimately produces a smoother ride and a more economical tyre performance.

You can add a precision wheel balance upgrade to your tyre order in the basket.
Wheel balancing is not the same as wheel alignment – both are very different services and benefit your tyres and car in different ways.

Wheel Alignment and Tracking

Why wheel alignment is important

Wheel alignment, or tracking, is the process of ensuring your vehicle’s wheels are set to the optimum position, as per the car manufacturer’s specifications.

Incorrect alignment can result in rapid irregular tyre wear and can even affect the handling and safety of the vehicle.

Wheel alignment problems can be caused by hitting a kerb, driving into a pothole in the road or by excessive wear to steering or suspension components. It is important to get your wheel alignment checked annually to ensure you get the most out of your tyres.

Keep an eye out for unusual wear on your tyres, such as premature wear on the inside or outside shoulder, which could be a sign of incorrect alignment. 

Alignment Terminology

Wheel alignment involves checking the direction and angle of the wheels. The misalignment positions are often described as toe in, toe out, positive camber or negative camber.

Toe In and Toe Out

"Toe" refers to whether the front of the tyres are closer or further apart than the rear of the tyres. Different types of vehicles need different toe settings to allow for the way that wheels pull either towards each other or apart. Incorrect toe alignment can result in in your car or 
van steering to one side.

Negative Camber and Positive Camber

"Camber" is the inward or outward tilt of a tyre. The camber is set by the vehicle manufacturer, and can be affected by potholes in the road and may need to be adjusted periodically.
