Tyres & Tyre Fitting in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear
Come to TMP Vehicles in Gateshead for new tyres, fitting and honest advice on what your car actually needs. We'll check what's already on your car, explain the options honestly, and fit tyres suited to how you drive most often.
Quality Tyres and Fitting in Gateshead
Tyres are the only part of the car actually touching the road, so tread depth, pressure and condition affect your grip, braking distance and fuel economy on every single journey. Worn or damaged tyres are also one of the most common reasons cars fail an MOT, so keeping on top of them matters for safety as much as for passing your test.
Bald patches, a slow puncture or a pull to one side — whatever's brought you in, your current tyres get checked properly first, for drivers from Gateshead to Low Fell and everywhere between. If a repair or a single replacement will do, that's what we'll recommend; need a full set, and we'll talk you through brands to suit your budget.

What's Typically Included

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my tyre needs replacing or can be repaired?
It depends on where the damage is and how bad it is — a small puncture in the central tread can often be repaired safely, but damage to the sidewall or shoulder usually can't be. Bring the car in and we'll tell you honestly which applies to yours.
What's the legal minimum tread depth?
The legal minimum in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre, all the way around. Grip drops off well before you hit that limit, though, especially in the wet, so it's worth checking and replacing before you're right on it.
Do I need to replace all four tyres at once?
Not necessarily — it depends on the wear and condition of the others, and on whether your car needs matched tyres on the same axle for the electronics to work properly. We'll check what you've got and tell you what's actually needed rather than defaulting to a full set.
Can you match the tyre brand I already have?
We can usually match your existing brand or recommend a suitable equivalent, and we stock options across budget to premium ranges. Just let us know what's currently fitted, or we can check it for you when you bring the car in.
