Can I Buy Tyres Online & Have Them Fitted?

Can I Buy Tyres Online & Have Them Fitted?

If you’re wondering if you can buy tyres online – the short answer is yes. Can you have your tyres fitted locally once purchased? Also, yes.

The process of buying tyres sounds a bit daunting to many, but it’s actually very simple and convenient.

You can easily browse online, compare prices and brands, and choose the tyres that best suit your vehicle.

Once purchased, you can schedule an appointment at your local garage or a mobile tyre fitter, making the whole experience hassle-free.

How about the preparation and the nitty-gritty of this process? That’s what we will be covering in this article today.

Browse and Select Your Desired Tyres

Choosing the best tyres for your vehicle and your budget can be a bit of a head scratcher.

Since there is countless leading tyre brands available online to choose from, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to tyre models.

It’s important to establish a budget before browsing for your next tyres.

Tyre brands’ prices are universally broken down into 3 pricing categories – budget, mid-range, or premium.

Budget tyres are known as the cheapest tyre models on the market. Where budget tyres may lack in quality compared to their industry peers that are priced higher, they offer customers who may have a strict budget a cheaper alternative.

Mid-range tyres are what it says on the tin – middle of the range models that are better in quality than budget tyres, but don’t quite offer the same performance levels as premium tyres. These tyres offer solid performance at a middling price range.

Premium tyres are the top models on the market. These may be the most expensive, but in the long run, tend to last much longer and are beneficial when it comes to fuel economy. Premium tyre models are universally recommended by industry experts if you long for the best performance possible.

To help you make a decision on tyres, here’s a breakdown on popular tyres of each pricing type:

Identifying Tyre Size

The next step once you have decided on tyre model is understanding what tyre size fits your car.

There’s two main ways to check your tyre size – enter your registration online or check your current tyres’ sidewall.

For checking your tyre size by registration number, use our online tool today.

If you’d like to know about your tyre size from the tyres currently fitted on your car, see the example below.

Example of how to identify a tyre size

Here’s what each section means in the example provided:

Width:

205 – The tyre’s width in millimetres.

Profile:

55 – The sidewall height as a percentage of the width, also called the aspect ratio. In this case, it's 55%.

Diameter:

R16 – The diameter of the tyre’s inner rim, measured in inches.

Load Rating:

91 – The tyre’s load rating, which indicates the maximum weight the tyre can safely carry.

Speed Rating:

V – This rating shows the maximum speed the tyre can handle when carrying a full load.

Once you know what tyre model and size to go for, it’s time to purchase the tyres.

Buy Your Selected Tyres and Fitting Option

During checkout, you can complete your purchase by selecting a fitting option that works best for you.

You can choose to have your tyres fitted at a local garage, or opt for a mobile fitting service, where the tyres are installed at your home or workplace.

Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a confirmation with all the details, ensuring a smooth and convenient process from start to finish.
