Tyres Yeovil

When your tyres are in excellent condition, your vehicle will be safely attached to the road surface, so the importance of maintaining them cannot be stressed enough.

Neglecting your car tyres can negatively affect your vehicle’s performance and safety. As a tyre wears, its tread depth decreases, reducing its grip on the road. Consequently, traction can be reduced, braking distances can be longer, and skidding and hydroplaning are more likely. Worn tyres are also more likely to develop punctures or blowouts.

With a comprehensive understanding of all vehicle brands, Robert Cockings Motor Repairs is equipped to assess the safety of tyres and replace them when necessary.

Contact Robert Cockings Motor Repairs today to schedule an inspection of your tyres.

What Size Tyres Do I Need?

One of the easiest ways to find the right tyres for your car is to look at the sidewall of your existing tyres. However, keep in mind that some vehicles, such as BMWs and Mercedes, use different tyre sizes on the front and rear wheels, depending on the model.

Do you still have questions? We’re here to help. Contact Robert Cockings Motor Repairs today.

What Is the Minimum Tread Levels? And How Do I Measure This?

In the UK, the minimum tread depth is 1.6mm. If you don’t have a gauge, you can measure the tread depth of your tyres using a 20p coin.

You can do this by putting the 20p in the area of your tyre with the least tread. In case the outer rim of the coin is visible, your tyres should be checked as soon as possible.

Drivers with insufficient tread depth are not only highly dangerous on the road, they are also driving illegally.

Make sure you avoid fines and accidents by scheduling a tyres inspection at Robert Cockings Motor Repairs today.

How to Check the Tyre Pressure

Look at the fuel cap or inside the driver’s door to determine the tyre pressure required for your vehicle.

Make sure all dust caps are removed from your vehicle. Then, the pressure gauge should be attached to the tyre valve to display the current tyre pressure.

Check the readings against your vehicle’s recommended pressure levels. If your vehicle’s tyres need inflation, adjust the pressure on the air machine and start inflating them.

    Had multiple issues on a car I purchased from a dealership miles away before Christmas.

    This garage is superb in every way. I had the misfortune of taking a stone in my radiator. I took my van to RCMR (as I always do) and needed my vehicle back ASAP. Their communication throughout was excellent and they had me back on the road quicker than I thought could be possible.
    I love this garage and would recommend all to use this gem in Yeovil.

    RMCR
    RMCR was recommended to me over 20 years ago. Since then Bob & Tom Cockings have become good friends as well as proving to be very reliable, helpful, knowledgeable and honest mechanics, who have looked after several of my cars during that time. You may be able to get a cheaper quote, but they will only do what is necessary, and if they say it has been done, you know that it HAS been... Read More

    Great place very professional didn't hesitate when I said it was a Jaguar, other places I went to didn't want to touch a modern Jaguar. The new brake pads and discs are spot on they respond just like my old ones and there not even bedded in yet definitely will be coming back.

    This was my first use of RCMR and iI'm glad that I've found them – on the recommendation of my neighbour. The arrival was swift and smooth, the loan car was just right, and the work was done very quickly. And they had spares ready in case they needed to do more work than anticipated. Well done!
