Tyres, Fitting & Alignment

Your tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road. Worn or damaged tyres affect your grip, your braking, and your safety. At A Star Garage, we supply and fit tyres for every make and model — budget or premium, your choice.

We cover:

  • Tyre fitting and replacement
  • Puncture repairs (where safe to do so)
  • Wheel alignment (tracking)
  • Tyre pressure checks
  • Budget and premium tyre options
  • All sizes, including run-flats

Fitting takes around 30 minutes per tyre — a full set of four is usually done in about an hour. We can order most sizes same day or next day.

The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm, but we recommend replacing tyres at 2–3mm. Below that, braking distances increase significantly, especially in wet conditions.

Budget tyres are fine for normal everyday driving and offer good value. Premium tyres from brands like Michelin, Continental, and Bridgestone offer better grip, shorter stopping distances, and longer life — they're worth it for higher-performance cars or if safety in wet conditions is a priority.

Tyre prices depend on the size, speed rating, and brand. Larger wheels and performance tyres cost more. We'll always find you the best option for your car and budget.

Yes. The MOT checks tread depth, tyre condition, and that the correct size and type of tyre is fitted. Tyres below 1.6mm tread or with damage will cause a fail.
