Gordons Tyres

TYRES

At Gordons we have huge stocks of tyres across all our five branches to suit every make and model of car.

In addition, the largest stock of 4x4 tyres in the area is held at our headquarters branch at Silkwood Park, Wakefield, so if any of our other branches need an unusual tyre we can quickly deliver what you need.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

If your car isn’t braking in a straight line or your steering wheel doesn’t centralise, it’s your wheels that are out of alignment. Other symptoms are the indicators not cancelling, or the wheels vibrating or wobbling.

Balancing the wheels will correct all these problems, and in addition, will mean less wear and tear on your tyres and wheel parts, plus improved safety and greater fuel economy.

4-wheel alignment is available at our Silkwood Park, Wakefield branch, and laser alignment at our Castleford, Leeds, Stanley and Stocksbridge, Sheffield branches.

Ask about “run-flat” safety tyres - they enable you to safely drive for around 50 miles even when the tyre is flat
MAKE SURE YOU’RE LEGAL!

How to read your tyre wall

The legal minimum tread depth on passenger vehicles is 1.6mm across the central three quarters band of the tyre and right around the central circumference. It is advisable, however, to allow a safety margin, particularly in winter when roads are wet and icy, and motoring organisations recommend a depth of 2mm.

SPARE TYRES

There is no legal requirement to carry a spare tyre, and if you do carry one, it does not have to comply with legal requirements if it is not used. But if you do need to use the spare tyre, it must meet the legal requirements.

£2500 FINE - OR WORSE!

Driving with damaged or worn tyres can result in a Fixed Penalty Notice and a fine of up to £2500 - for each tyre that is defective. You also risk being disqualified from driving.

What’s more, if you have an accident and your tyres are illegal or unroadworthy, you might find that your insurance is invalidated and you have to stand the full cost of the accident.
