New tyres provide better grip, shorter braking distances, and improved handling. Worn or damaged tyres increase the risk of accidents, especially in wet conditions, and can affect fuel efficiency. 

Tyres should be replaced when the tread depth reaches 3mm for optimum performance. The legal minimum is 1.6mm, but stopping distances increase significantly below 3mm. Tyres should also be changed if they are cracked, damaged or more than 6 years old, even if the tread still looks good. 

A new tyre typically has a tread depth of around 8mm-10mm, depending on the type. This depth ensures maximum grip, stability and performance on both dry and wet roads. 

The price of a new tyre depends on your vehicle and the tyre type. With Ancaster savings across all tyres, upgrading is more affordable than ever. 

At Ancaster, we can help you choose the correct tyres for your specific vehicle, whether it’s a Nissan, Hyundai, MG, Renault, Dacia, Škoda, Genesis or any other make. Our team will check your car’s specifications, recommend the right size and type, and fit them professionally at your nearest Ancaster dealership. 

You can get new tyres at any Ancaster dealership, no matter the make or model of your vehicle. We stock and fit tyres for all cars, so you’re not limited to just one brand. 

Fitting tyres is usually a quick process, depending on the number of tyres being replaced and the type of car. If you’re getting four tyres fitted, it’s a good idea to allow a little extra time for balancing and a final safety check. Our team ensures each tyre is fitted correctly, balanced, and aligned so your car is safe and ready to drive. You can also book an appointment in advance to minimise waiting time.

Yes, in many cases tyres can be repaired, but it depends on the type, size, and location of the damage. Punctures in the tread (the part of the tyre that touches the road) can usually be repaired safely if they are small—like from a nail or screw. Sidewall damage (the tyre’s edges) or large punctures are generally not repairable and the tyre should be replaced for safety reasons. Repairs should always be done by a professional who can check the tyre’s condition and ensure it’s safe to drive on.

At Ancaster, our technicians can inspect your tyres and let you know if a repair is possible or if a replacement is needed.
