Tyres in Sittingbourne
Tyres are the only part of your car that touches the road. Worn or incorrectly inflated tyres affect braking distance, handling, and fuel consumption, and below 1.6mm tread depth, they’re illegal.
At All Vehicle Services on Castle Road, we supply and fit tyres for all makes and models, with wheel alignment available on the same visit.
Budget, Mid-Range, And Premium Tyres
We stock a range of tyres across different price points. Budget tyres from reputable manufacturers are a sound choice for older vehicles or low-mileage city cars.
Premium tyres from brands like Michelin, Continental, and Goodyear offer improved wet-weather grip and longer tread life, which makes them cost-effective over time for higher-mileage drivers.
We’ll give you a straight comparison of your options and won’t push you towards the most expensive choice if it’s not warranted.
Tyre Fitting, How Long Does It Take?
A standard tyre fitting appointment, two tyres, takes around 30–45 minutes, including balancing. Four tyres take about an hour. We can usually fit you in quickly; call to check current availability.
Wheel Alignment: Why It Matters
Incorrect wheel alignment causes uneven tyre wear, which shortens tyre life and can cost you an MOT advisory or failure. It also affects fuel consumption and handling. If you’ve hit a kerb recently, driven through a large pothole, or had any steering or suspension work done, an alignment check is worthwhile.
We carry out four-wheel alignment checks and can make adjustments on the same visit. Ask about alignment when you book your tyre fitting.
Tyre Pressure And Legal Limits
The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre.
We check tread depth as part of every vehicle health check and will tell you exactly how much life is left. Tyres don’t give much warning before they fail. If you’re getting close to the limit, don’t wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a tyre fitting take?
A standard tyre fitting for two tyres usually takes around 30 to 45 minutes, including balancing. Four tyres normally take about an hour, depending on the vehicle and tyre type.
Do you offer wheel alignment with tyre fitting?
Wheel alignment is available on the same visit as your tyre fitting. If your car has hit a pothole or kerb, or has had steering or suspension work, it is worth having the alignment checked.
What is the legal minimum tyre tread depth in the UK?
The legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. If your tyres are getting close to that limit, it is best to replace them before they become unsafe or illegal.
Do you fit run-flat and specialist tyres?
We fit run-flat tyres and can also handle larger alloy wheel fitments. If your vehicle uses a less common tyre size, call ahead so we can confirm availability.
How often should I replace my tyres?
How long tyres last depends on mileage, driving style, and road conditions, but many UK drivers need new tyres every 3–5 years or between roughly 20,000 and 40,000 miles. It’s sensible to have them checked regularly once the tread is below about 3mm, or sooner if you notice uneven wear or damage.
Can I replace just one tyre, or should I change them in pairs?
It’s usually best to replace tyres in pairs on the same axle so grip and wear are consistent left to right. In some cases a single replacement is possible, but the new tyre should closely match the size, type, and tread pattern of the remaining tyre; we can advise the safest option for your car.
How do I know which tyre size my car needs?
