Tyres Birmingham FAQs

The Birmingham network is 41 centres strong, 21 within the city and 20 out in Walsall, Cannock, Tipton, Wednesbury, Bromsgrove and 8 more towns. The closest to the centre of Birmingham is in B12, 1.5 miles out; the furthest is in Stourport-on-Severn at 18.6 miles. Once you reach checkout, a postcode ensures the fitting centres closest to you are listed first, and the free slots at each.

The law sets the limit at 1.6 mm of tread over the central three-quarters of the width, and wet braking suffers a good while earlier. A lot of drivers here replace at around 3 mm, and any centre can measure it in a minute. Cracks, bulges or uneven wear mean a new tyre whatever the depth, and any of the 41 centres in and around Birmingham will look for you.

There is no mobile fitter among the 41 Birmingham centres at the moment; BR Car Care Centre (B12) is the nearest workshop, 1.5 miles from the centre. The 41 are all bookable at checkout by postcode, and the tyres are sent to the one you choose in time for your booking.

After the size comes a load index, a number for the weight the tyre can carry, and a speed rating, a letter for its top speed; in 91V the 91 is 615 kg a tyre and the V is 149 mph, and TyresBirmingham.uk shows both. The rule is the same ratings or better; TyresBirmingham.uk's registration search filters to them for your Birmingham car.

Birmingham has a summer which is warm more often than hot most years, and winters that are more damp than frozen, with the frost coming and going between December and February, and that shapes the choice. Birmingham suits summer tyres April to October, and winter tyres December to February, and all-season tyres split the difference all year round. TyresBirmingham.uk gives each type a page of its own showing Birmingham's live forecast, refreshed every hour.
