Car & Van Tyres - Bridgend

Tyres aren’t one-size-fits-all. Van tyres are a different product to car tyres, built to carry heavier loads, withstand more frequent kerbing, and perform consistently under commercial use conditions. Fitting the wrong type, or keeping worn tyres on to save money in the short term, has real consequences for safety, load capacity, and fuel consumption, whatever you drive.

Choosing the Right Tyres for Your Vehicle

Commercial vehicle tyres are load-rated to match the van’s maximum payload capacity, while car tyres are matched to the vehicle’s weight, speed rating, and intended use. It’s important to get the right tyre for your vehicle because an underrated tyre, particularly on a loaded van, is a safety issue, not just a performance one. We’ll make sure any replacement tyres are the correct specification for your vehicle and how you use it.

When Do Tyres Need Replacing?

When the tread depth is below the legal minimum of 1.6mm. That said, we recommend replacing at 2-3mm on commercials, given the loads they carry
When there is visible damage to the sidewall, bulges, or cuts
Due to age, tyres more than five to six years old should be inspected carefully, regardless of tread
When there are uneven wear patterns, as this often indicates an alignment or suspension issue worth investigating

Tyre Supply & Fitting at South Wales Wet Belt & Service Centre

We supply and fit tyres for cars, vans and light commercial vehicles at our Bridgend workshop, across the full range of sizes. We carry commercial-rated options to suit different budgets without compromising on load rating or safety.

After fitting, we balance the wheel and check alignment because any uneven wear caused by a geometry problem will simply repeat itself on new tyres if the underlying issue isn’t addressed. We have laser alignment equipment on-site to handle that in the same visit.
