Car Tyres - Weston-super-Mare

Scaurs Garage supplies and fits tyres at our workshop just off Worle High Street, where we have a dedicated tyre bay alongside our two ramps. Whether you need one replacement after a nasty pothole or a full set, we’ll help you get back on the road safely.

How to tell when you need new tyres

The legal minimum tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, all the way around. Grip in the wet drops well before that point, though, so it’s sensible to think about replacing tyres sooner.

Signs that a tyre needs attention include:

• Tread that’s close to the wear indicators, the small raised bars in the grooves
• Bulges, lumps, or cracks in the sidewall
• Cuts or objects embedded in the tread
• A tyre that keeps losing pressure
• Vibration through the steering wheel at speed

If you’re not sure, ask us to check them and we’ll tell you honestly whether they need changing now or still have life left in them.

Uneven wear can point to something else

When a tyre is worn more on one edge than the other, the tyre itself often isn’t the real problem. Uneven wear can be a sign of an issue with the suspension or steering, so if we spot it while fitting new tyres, we’ll explain what it could mean. Fixing the cause helps your new tyres last longer.

Tyres for electric vehicles

Electric cars are heavier than most petrol or diesel equivalents, and their instant torque can wear tyres faster. Many are fitted with tyres designed for EVs, which may differ from standard ones in load rating and road noise. We’re qualified to IMI Level 3 for electric vehicle work, so we’re comfortable looking after EV tyres along with the rest of the car.
