At Vertu Motors it's all in the detail, and whilst we take care of the details of your tyres, we also take care of you.

Complimentary refreshments, Wi-Fi, and even hot desks, are available while you wait for your free tyre check and vehicle health check to be completed.

To make tyre checks a regular part of your routine, we also have dedicated areas for children at many of our dealerships, so childcare is one less thing to worry about.

You can always guarantee a thorough service at Vertu Motors, and our expert technicians will be sure to give your tyres the attention they require.

Regular tyre checks are important to keep you and your passengers safe on the road and can also contribute to improved fuel efficiency, leading to lower fuel bills.

Worn, under-inflated tyres, or the wrong type of tyres for your vehicle can all lead to increased fuel consumption.

After tyres reach a certain level of wear, they can let out a squealing noise and become harmful to the environment, polluting the air with rubber particles.

It is a legal requirement for your tyres to be the correct type, size and purpose for your vehicle.

You can risk three penalty points on your license and a fine of up to £2,500 per tyre if your tyres are over or under-inflated enough to be deemed unroadworthy.

A Vertu Motors free tyre check includes a visual inspection and assessment of general wear and damage, tread depth and tyre pressure.

Each check is carried out by our team of expert technicians, who will be able to advise if your tyres need replacing and complete a full vehicle health check (VHC) too.

During the vehicle health check our technicians will complete a comprehensive inspection of your car, and will also plug your vehicle into self-test equipment to install any software updates.

You will also receive a video of the VHC showing you the overall condition of your car, highlighting any defects found during the checks.

Our free assessment takes around 20 minutes to fully inspect all tyres and complete a vehicle health check.

To keep your tyres in top condition, we recommend that you:

• Avoid overloading your vehicle
• Try not to mount kerbs
• Refrain from excessive speeding or rapid braking

Regularly check tyre pressure, tread depth, and look for any signs of wear and damage.

Typically, vehicle warranties do not include tyre coverage. We would always recommend taking out specialist tyre warranty when you buy a new set of tyres. Contact us today and we can help you arrange this.

Tyres can be repaired if the damage is minimal, such as a small puncture. But anything bigger may result in a tyre replacement. Our skilled technicians can recommend the best course of action during your free tyre check.

While some noise when driving is normal, any unusual sounds or sensations should be looked into. We would recommend booking a tyre check to identify and fix any potential issues.

To understand your tyre size, you'll need to look for a code on the sidewall of your tyres.

The first three digits represent tyre width, followed by two digits indicating height as a percentage of width.

The next letter signifies the tyre construction, usually radial. Subsequent numbers show the tyre diameter.

Meanwhile, the final figures represent load rating and speed rating, respectively.

You can locate your tyre information in your vehicle handbook, or inside the fuel flap. For easy reference, take a photo of the side of your tyre.

For more information on understanding the code, read the answer to our question on how tyres are measured.

Tyres with tread depths below 1.6mm are considered illegal and will result in an MOT failure. Driving with illegal tyres may lead to licence points and a fine of up to £2,500 per tyre.

Find out your tyre size from your vehicle handbook or the code on the sidewall of your tyre. This information can also be found inside the fuel flap or glove box.

Our question on how tyres are measured will give you a detailed breakdown of how to understand the code.
