Tyres Northampton
Your tyres are the only contact point between you and the road. That means they’re critical to the safe driving of your car.
Driving on worn tyres is putting you and your family in danger. Don’t risk it.
Whether you want your tread depth checked, need new tyres or want your wheels aligned, our expert technicians are ready and waiting.
For car tyres in Northampton, call Roade Main Garage today.
Checking your tyre tread levels
The legal tyre tread depth for cars in the UK is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre.
You can check yours with a gauge device or by placing a 20p coin into the lowest tread.
If you can’t see the outer rim of the coin, it meets minimum standards.
If you can see the rim, your tyre should be checked by Roade Main Garage immediately.
RECOMMENDED TYRE TREAD LEVELS
The tyre and safety experts at MIRA & RAC believe the 1.6mm legal minimum is insufficient to guarantee safety – they recommend a minimum tread depth of 3mm for tyre replacement.
Why? Deeper tread means your tyres work better, improving grip and stopping your vehicle more quickly in dry and wet conditions. Don’t put you, your passengers or other road users at risk.
Roade Main Garage can help with tyres in Northampton.
Can you fit tyres while I wait?
Yes, please call us to arrange an appointment for tyre fitting in Northampton.

How to check your tyre pressure?
To check your tyre pressure, remove the screw caps from the tyre valve and press a tyre pressure gauge onto the end of it.
If it shows poor pressure, add some air until it is at the recommended level for your vehicle. If it’s too high, let the air out of your tyre until it falls within the recommended level.
Unsure about your tyre pressure? Give us a call.
Wheel Alignment
Few people think of it when considering their vehicle, however, wheel alignment is critical to the safety of your vehicle.
Steering accuracy, tyre wear and fuel consumption are all affected by your wheel alignment. So, it’s essential that it’s kept in optimal shape.
If you’re having issues with your wheel alignment, come and see us today.

Staff were very professional and accommodating considering I hadn’t booked and needed a MOT. Was able to leave my car there, in the spacious clean environment, and pick it up after work. Price for the MOT was the same as anywhere but the service was priceless, I will certainly be using this garage in the future.
