Tyre Size Guide – Find and Read Your Tyre Size Correctly
The numbers and letters on a tyre sidewall identify its dimensions and important specifications. Knowing where to find them makes it easier to provide the correct information when requesting replacement tyres or mobile fitting. We base the job on the vehicle, tyre condition, and location rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. When an inspection is needed, we assess the tyre before recommending repair or replacement.
The aim is to make the next step clear: identify what is needed, confirm the location is suitable, and carry out the appropriate tyre service without an unnecessary journey.
Tyre Size Guide is intended for situations where the vehicle has a clear tyre requirement that matches this service. The tyre's condition, the vehicle specification, and safe access around the vehicle all matter. If the problem belongs to another service—such as a repair rather than replacement—we can establish that before unsuitable work is carried out.

Understand the Problem
We start with the vehicle, tyre, and location details you provide. A clear description, tyre size, and photograph can help determine what type of assistance you'll likely need.
Check the Vehicle and Tyre
We consider the relevant tyre condition and fitting requirements before work proceeds. When repairability or damage is involved, a physical assessment is more reliable than deciding from a description alone.
Carry Out the Appropriate Work
Once the requirement is clear and the location is suitable, we can complete the appropriate service or explain the next option if different work is required..

What We Can Help With
Tyre Size Guide – How to Identify the Correct Tyre Size for Your Vehicle
From a sudden flat tyre to a slow loss of pressure, we assess the problem at your location and explain the safest available solution before work begins.
Tyre Width
Tyre width can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether we can safely address the issue on site. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether we can safely address the issue at its current location. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Rim Diameter
Rim diameter can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether we can safely address the issue on site. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Load Index
Load index can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether you can safely address the issue at its current location. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Speed Rating
Speed rating can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether you can safely address the issue on site. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Additional Manufacturer Markings
Additional manufacturer markings can require attention for different reasons. The right response depends on the tyre’s condition, the vehicle, and whether we can safely address the issue at its current location. Contact us with the relevant details so we can assess the requirement.
Important: Mobile tyre work requires a safe, accessible working position around the vehicle. Service availability can also depend on the vehicle, tyre specification, location and the work required. A description or photograph can help initially, but it does not replace physical inspection where tyre condition or repairability must be confirmed.
Not Sure What Is Wrong?
Send your postcode, tyre size and a clear photo through WhatsApp. Our team can review the details and advise on the next step.
Why Choose Us
Why Choose Automotive Mobile Tyres?
The practical advantage of a mobile service is that the tyre work comes to the vehicle where circumstances allow. This can be particularly useful when the tyre makes driving inconvenient or unsafe, or when a trip to a tyre centre would disrupt work or other plans.
Mobile Tyre Help Built Around You
There is no need to risk driving on a damaged tyre. Contact us directly and tell us where you are, what vehicle you have and the tyre problem you are experiencing.
- Direct contact by phone or WhatsApp
- Clear advice before work begins
- Safety-focused tyre assessment
- Service at your location
Service at the Vehicle
We arrange assistance at a suitable home, workplace, depot, or other agreed location rather than automatically travelling to a tyre centre.
Clear Information Before Work
We review vehicle and tyre details first, so the service matches the actual requirement rather than assumptions.
Repair or Replacement Kept Distinct
When a tyre needs assessment, its condition determines the next step. We don't promise a repair just because the damage looks small.
Direct Contact
Call or WhatsApp us with your location and tyre details so we can discuss the situation and identify the right service.

Tyre Size Guide Information
Professional Tyre Size Guide
Mobile tyre repair provides practical help when a puncture or loss of pressure leaves your vehicle unsafe to drive. Instead of taking the damaged tyre to a garage, a mobile technician can assess it at your home, workplace or a safe roadside location.
What to Check Before You Contact Us
Look for the tyre size on the sidewall and note the vehicle registration or model. If you see visible damage, take a clear photograph without putting yourself in an unsafe position. Explain whether the tyre is flat, losing pressure, visibly damaged, worn, or simply due for planned replacement.
Why the Tyre’s Actual Condition Matters
A tyre can look fine from the outside but have a different issue once examined properly. Damage location, previous underinflation, tread condition, and other visible or internal signs can change the right course of action. This is especially important when considering repair.
Choosing Repair or Replacement
Repair and replacement are not interchangeable services. A repair is appropriate only when the tyre and damage meet the relevant repair criteria. If the tyre is worn, structurally damaged, or otherwise unsuitable, replacement is the appropriate route rather than trying to preserve the existing tyre.
Preparing the Vehicle Location
Where possible, leave enough room around the vehicle for the required work and avoid obstructing traffic, entrances or unsafe roadside areas. Tell us in advance about restricted access, steep ground, soft surfaces or other conditions that could affect safe working.
After the Work
If you are advised about tyre pressure, further inspection, matching tyres, or another wheel needing attention, deal with it promptly. Continue to monitor the vehicle for pressure warnings, vibration or visible tyre changes rather than assuming every future symptom relates to the original problem.

Should I use the registration number or sidewall marking when requesting tyres?
Sidewall damage requires particular caution and should not be treated like a minor tread penetration. The tyre needs proper assessment, and replacement may be required where the damage falls outside accepted repair criteria.
