We have over 5000 tyre specifications listed on our website. The common problem for not finding the tyre is that Customer thinks the "R" on their tyres is the speed rating. The "R" on your tyre means radial. All modern tyres are radial. If you are having difficulty finding the correct tyre choice, please call our free phone number 0800 028 9000.
The speed rating can be a T, H, V, ZR, Z, Y or W. The marking is located on the side wall of your tyre after the size and load rating. Example of markings 175/65 R 14 82T or 235/35 ZR 18 94Y
Your tyre order can usually be fitted the next working day but in some cases your tyres can be fitted the same day. Please call 0800 028 9000 if you need a same day appointment. View our opening hours.
We accept all major credit and debit cards. Company accounts are available with prior notice.
All online card payments made to etyres are retrieved via a high security server. The latest encryption methods are used to ensure that your credit card number is kept perfectly safe. We use a secure server provided by Datacash- one of the UK's leading Internet Payment Companies whose servers handle thousands of secure transactions for leading on-line retailers every day.
The speed rating is marked on the side of the tyre and indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry the load corresponding with its load index. Example 91V.
Even if you do not drive at these speeds, the correct specification is essential in order to comply with the vehicle manufactures recommendation and your insurance policy.
This means a tyre for a 4X4 or "off road" vehicle. When a Customer is search for a tyre, our advanced etyres database automatically identifies if the specific search could be a 4X4 tyre. The Customer is prompted with a drop down box asking "Is this tyre for a 4X4?" If the tyre is for a 4X4 vehicle select "Yes" this will ensure that the Customer is only shown 4X4 tyres in the size they require.
RNF indicates that the tyre is reinforced. Reinforced tyres are mostly fitted on to small / light vans, people carriers and some 4X4 vehicles and estate cars. More recently, car manufactures such as Audi, Renault and Saab have been using a new type of reinforced tyre. These tyres are high-performance, low profile tyres and come as original equipment on high-performance cars. The extra load carrying capability gives these tyres more rigidity, enhancing the road holding.
6PR means 6 ply. These are tyres used on light commercial vehicles and are constructed using extra reinforcing called 'ply.' Most car tyres are 4ply construction.
8PR means 8 ply. These are tyres used on light commercial vehicles and are constructed using extra steel reinforcing called 'ply.' Most car tyres are 4ply construction.
All etyres prices for tyres include on-site fitting, a new rubber valve and wheel balancing. We do not charge to dispose of the old tyre. Battery prices include fitting and the disposal of the old battery in an environmentally friendly way.
No, our prices include the disposal of your old tyre. We use selected government registered environmental disposal companies to dispose of the old casing.
The legal limit for the tread of the tyre is 1.6mm across ¾ of the tread pattern. Your tyre should be replaced if any of the following defects are visible:
All of our etyres vans are equipped with state-of-the-art tyre changing machines, Electronic tyre balancing machines and a compressor to inflate the tyres. All similar to the equipment you would expect to see in a traditional tyre depot - but with etyres the tyre depot comes to you and you don't have to pay for this high business overhead!
Yes we can. Our etyres technicians are capable of fitting tyres with a profile as low as 25. Our vans are also equipped with low entry jacks, which easily glide under the skirts of any sports car.
etyres are able to fit motorbike tyres in specific areas only, please call 0800 028 9000 to find out if we cover your area.
Very little space is required. We are able to fit your tyres in small driveways or company car parks. In an emergency, even in a multi-story car park.
Our service includes free fitting. Only in exceptional cases do we just deliver. This assists in eliminating credit card fraud. If you need delivery only please call our free phone number 0800 028 9000.
We dispose of your old tyre, using carefully selected tyre disposal companies. The old tyres are sent to remould manufacturers or used in road construction, as fuel in power stations or even sometimes used for sea defences. At etyres the protection of the environment is a major concern and we dispose of your scrap tyres in the most ecologically friendly way possible.
Each mobile tyre van is fitted with an sophisticated electronic balancing machine, capable of balancing 10" to 22" diameter wheels.
We use the correct weights for your car. All weights are made of zinc which is much safer than lead from an environmental point of view. For steel wheels we use uncoated weights. Alloy wheels are balanced using coated or stick-on weights, which are either clipped on the wheel rim or stuck to the inside of the wheel. High performance wheels usually require stick-on weights which are not visible from the outside, ensuring your wheels always look their best.
Yes we can. All the etyres mobile fitting vans are equipped with puncture repair facilities. Our punctures are repaired to BSAU 159 standard.
Most probably, yes. But there are British Standard guidelines that we have to adhere to. All our vans carry a BSAU 159 Standards Gauge. If the puncture is in the shoulder or side-wall of the tyre it cannot be repaired but if this is the case our tyre technician will show you, using his BSAU159 Gauge; or, you may download a free Repairable Area Tread Gauge from this site, follow the instructions, and see beforehand if it likely the tyre can be repaired.
The charge for repairing a puncture is £25 inc VAT including us coming out to your home or work.
The "Check Tyre" symbol is usually displayed if one of the tyres on your vehicle has low air pressure.
First, visually check all your tyres to see if any of them look 'flat'.
If any of your tyres look flat, you must inflate them to the proper pressure before driving, or fit your spare wheel if you have one. Many new cars don't have a spare wheel, so if you don't have a pump to inflate your tyres yourself, you may need to call a mobile service such as etyres to attend and inspect your tyre to see if the puncture can be safely repaired.
It is very important not to drive on a tyre that is flat as this can damage the tyre. Driving on a flat tyre for even a very short distance will make a puncture repair impossible and require you to buy a new tyre; so make sure you pump up the tyre before you drive on it.
If none of your tyres look flat, there may still be a tyre that has low air pressure. Check the air pressure in all of your tyres as soon as possible and inflate them to the recommended air pressure
The correct air pressure to inflate your tyres is always written in the owners' handbook for your vehicle. It is also often printed on a sticker which is either under the petrol flap, or stuck to the edge of the driver's door or the door frame. There will often be different pressures given for:
Please make sure you choose the correct pressure, if in doubt call the manufacturer or etyres for advice.
If you have had a tyre changed or had a puncture repaired and the 'Check Tyre Pressure' message or symbol is still showing, it may need to be reset.
The reset procedure varies for different vehicles, it is best to check the owners' handbook for the exact reset procedure for your vehicle, but it can often be performed in the following ways:
It is good practice to check and inflate all four tyres to the recommended pressures before performing the reset procedure. The reset procedure often memorises the current tyre pressures, and if any of them are low, you risk memorising an incorrect pressure for other wheels on the vehicle.
If you have reset the 'Check Tyre Pressure' indicator and it has come back on, it is important to check the air pressure inside all four tyres. It is possible that one of the other tyres on the vehicle has a fault and may need inspecting. Please check the air pressure and inflate the tyres as necessary and arrange for any tyre losing air pressure to be inspected by etyres.
We supply and fit only new batteries, which have a 3-year guarantee.
