More about tyres and wheels

Most drivers will face a burst tyre or a damages wheel at some point in their driving career. Changing a tyre or wheel is one of the easiest jobs a garage can do, which is good news. Most tyre problems are caused by nail punctures, by hitting a kerb or pothole at speed, or by general wear and tear.

Spotting the signs of wheel damage

The things to look out for include:

Bulges in the sidewalls of the tyre
Visible rust, dents, deflation or leakage
Failure of the axle or suspension, and
Any suspicious vibrations coming from the tyres.

Changing your tyre

You can change your tyre yourself, but you need to bear in mind several vital safety aspects.

You should:

Never change your tyre close to traffic or on the hard shoulder of a motorway
Never change a tyre on uneven ground
Never change a tyre with passengers in the vehicle
Never go underneath your car while it’s raised by the jack
Only use your jack on the right points
Always read your owner manual
Have a jack in your car
Keep your car raised on the jack for as short a time as possible
Cut off the engine and turn the hazard lights on, and
Engage the handbrake.

If your car has a spare wheel, it’s likely to be one that’s designed for temporary use – a so-called “skinny spare”. These are designed to get you to a garage or another nearby destination and are usually limited to 50mph.

You might find that your dashboard warning lights will activate if you’re using a skinny spare and also that your ABS, some automatic gearboxes and your traction control won’t work with one of these temporary spares.

You should head to a garage as soon as possible!!

Your skinny spare is functional, but you’re unable to drive at more than 50mph with it and your metallic wheel isn’t as cushioned from the hard roads as it is with a “proper” tyre. You need a new tyre!

Lots of garages repair wheels and replace tyres

If you have damaged tyres or cracked wheels then it’s vital that you have them replaced or repaired as soon as possible so that you can drive safely and also avoid further damage to other parts of your car.

Lots of garages offer pothole damage repair services (as it’s a common issue in the UK), as well as straightening bent wheels and improving wheel alignment.
