Del from etyres writes:- How do you read a tyre side wall, and what do the numbers and letters on the tyre wall mean? There are a lot of different number and lettering combinations for the walls of a typical tyre.

The tyre numbers and lettering that we will be dealing with today are the ones that you use to order your tyres from www.etyres.co.uk

We will use the tyre size 255 35 R 19 97W for this tyre explanation example.

The 255 on the tyre is the nominal section width across the tyre.

The 35 on the tyre is known as the tyre aspect ratio. What this means is that the height of the tyre is shown against the tyre nominal section width.

The R means that the tyre is a radial tyre. The three types of tyres in use they are the radials tyre, cross ply tyres and bias belt tyres.

The 19 is the wheel diameter rim size

The 97 is the tyre load rating.  This means that the maximum load weight that the tyre can carry at its maximum speed in this example the weight that this tyre can carry  is 730 kilos

The W is the tyre speed rating. This means the maximum speed the tyre can run on when it is fully loaded. In this case the maximum speed the tyre should be driven on is 168 mph.

Never fit a tyre with a lower speed rating than is recommended for the vehicle that the tyre is being fitted on.

There are many new mobile tyre fitting services on the market today, but how many of these fitters are actually trained up to a recognised British Standard. Whilst out on a job as a mobile tyre fitter within the Wellingborough area I have come across some dangerous tyre repairs, which could put the customer’s vehicle and ultimately their lives at risk, especially considering the dangers of a tyre blow out on a busy road or even a motorway. This raises the question how many are actually qualified to carry out this type of work on your car?
As a mobile tyre fitter I am aware that there is a specified safety zone when repairing a tyre. As a guide a puncture repair can normally be made if the damage is minor such as a screw or nail, and within the tyre tread, and not within an inch of the outside edge. A tyre should not be repaired if the damage is outside this area or on the tyre side wall.
etyres offer a puncture repair service which costs £25 including VAT, and as we are a mobile tyre fitting service within Wellingborough area we come to you , at your convenience. You can carry on with your working day as etyres mobile tyre fitting would come to you at work, or at home, so you can continue with your day with no hassle.
