Not every Oldham journey stays in town. Many local drivers head over the A62 through Standedge or the A635 past Dovestone and across Saddleworth Moor, where exposed roads can turn wet, foggy or icy with little warning and garages are hard to find. It pays to check your tyres before setting off. The UK legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three quarters of the tyre, and going below it can mean a fine of up to £2,500 and three penalty points per illegal tyre. Wet grip drops well before that, so many drivers replace at around 3mm.
Bulges, cracks, a car pulling to one side or slow air loss are all signs your tyre needs checking. If one fails on the road, pull over safely, switch on your hazards and stay well clear of passing traffic. Give our mobile tyre fitter in Oldham a nearby landmark, junction or postcode so we can find you fast. We aim to arrive in around 30 minutes, depending on traffic and your location, and with 24 hour mobile tyre fitting in Oldham, a puncture at midnight gets the same help as one at midday.
