Tyres - Safety First and Last


Did you know that as a SEAT Service Partner we offer a comprehensive tyre service focused exclusively on SEAT? Which means we should always have the right tyre or tyres for your model in stock. We source tyres directly from top manufacturers, and they're the same tyre companies that supply the tyres we fit to new SEAT vehicles before they roll off the production line. That means you can be sure not only of the best choice of tyres for your particular SEAT model, but also that our prices are extremely competitive.

So when you need replacement tyres, you can rely on us.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. Do I have to pay an environmental charge for tyres removed from my car?

A. Most tyre retailers apply an environmental charge to remove and responsibly dispose of old tyres. These old tyres can no longer be dumped in landfill sites, and many are used as a fuel source to power cement kilns.

Q. How can I find out if my tyre can be repaired following a puncture?

A. Minor repairs to passenger and light van tyres must be carried out in accordance with the recommendations in the British Standard BS AU 159.

Q. How far/fast can I drive with a run flat tyre in a deflated condition?

A. Recommendations vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and drivers should always consult the car manufacturer's handbook for the distance that can be travelled and speed driven.

Q. Do I have to fit winter tyres in the winter?

A. In the UK, fitting winter tyres isn't a legal requirement, although some drivers in the north of the UK do choose to switch to winter tyres at the appropriate time of the year. UK drivers travelling to certain European countries may be required to fit winter tyres. You can get this information from the DfT.

Q. Are tyres recycled?

A. Almost all tyres scrapped here in the UK are disposed of in a reasonable manner. Some are re-treaded and therefore have a second or even third life. For example, some tyres are recycled and used in children's play areas. Many tyres that cannot be re-used are used as a fuel source at cement kilns.

Q. How many miles can I get from my set of tyres?

A. Tyre life depends on how they're used. A set of well-maintained tyres used exclusively on motorways can get much higher mileage, versus tyres that are badly maintained and driven in a city centre and urban environment.

Q. How can I find out the correct pressure from my tyres?

A. You'll find this information in the car manufacturer's handbook, and at many tyre retailers they'll have a pressure chart to consult. Failing that, you can get in touch with the tyre manufacturer.
