Tyre Services in Colchester

Tyre Supply, Fitting and Repair at Shaikly Motor Company

Tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road, so their condition affects grip, braking distance and handling in every condition. Legal tread depth and correct pressure are essential for safety and for passing your MOT.

Why Tyre Checks are Essential

Legal Tread Depth

UK law requires a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Falling below this is an MOT failure and a driving offence.

Braking and Grip

Worn tyres significantly increase stopping distances, especially in wet weather. Good tread depth is essential for safe braking and control.

Correct Tyre Pressure

Under- or over-inflated tyres wear unevenly, reduce fuel efficiency and affect handling. We check and correct pressures as standard.

Even Wear and Balance

Uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension issues. Regular checks catch problems early, before they damage other components.

A wide range of tyres to suit all vehicles and budgets, from premium brands like Michelin, Continental and Goodyear to trusted mid-range and economy options.

Wheel Balancing

Balancing corrects uneven weight distribution across the wheel and tyre, reducing vibration and preventing uneven wear.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you check my tyres while my car is in for a service or MOT?

Yes — tyre checks are part of every service and MOT we carry out. We’ll inspect tread depth, tyre pressures, and look for signs of uneven wear or damage. If anything needs attention, we’ll let you know and explain your options before doing any work.

Do you supply and fit all tyre brands?

We offer a wide range of tyres to suit all vehicles and budgets — from premium brands like Michelin, Continental, and Goodyear to trusted mid-range and economy options. Whether you need something performance-focused, all-season, or just reliable for everyday driving, we’ll help you choose the right fit.

Can I just replace one tyre, or do I need a pair?

In some cases, a single tyre can be replaced, especially if the others are in good condition. However, depending on your vehicle (particularly 4x4s or EVs) and how worn the others are, we may recommend replacing them in pairs to maintain balance and safety. We’ll inspect and advise honestly based on your car and driving needs.

Do you offer tyre puncture repairs?

Yes — if your tyre is repairable according to UK safety standards, we can carry out a fast and affordable puncture repair. If the damage is near the sidewall or too severe, we’ll let you know and offer suitable replacement options.
