A flat or punctured tyre is an unwelcome delay to any journey, but with Tyres On The Drive you can be back on the road faster.

The exact time it takes to change a tyre will always differ from case to case, but our professional team will work hard to get the job done quickly, while still performing to the highest standards.

Here we talk about the different factors that determine how long a car tyre takes to change.

One tyre or more?

If you only need one tyre changing, your car should be ready in around 20 minutes, give or take (with our service). But it’s often wise to replace them in pairs, so that you have new tyre tread on both sides of your vehicle. This gives you the most balanced drive. The tyre type and size will also affect how long it takes to replace it.

Some drivers prefer to change all four tyres at once, especially if they are all fairly old. If you’re giving your vehicle a new set of boots, you can expect two tyres to take roughly half an hour, and four tyres to take around 55 minutes. We usually allow 5 minutes extra per tyre if they are run flats.

In practice, however, it can be faster to change multiple tyres at once, as there’s only one callout needed – which saves time.

We will always do the job as speedily as possible while still completing it to a high standard – so you’ll often find we’re all done and dusted much sooner than you expected!

Where is the car?

We accept callouts to homes, workplaces, and anywhere we can get safe access to your vehicle.

Access is essential, so it’s often the case that if your car is parked on your own drive, it will take less time to change the tyre. It just means we can easily work without distractions or disturbances. In any case, our tyre technicians will do their best to get you going again as quickly as possible.

One of the things to remember is that with Tyres On The Drive, we come to you. That means you don’t need to worry about towing your car to the local garage or running it on a flat tyre – if you get a puncture you can stop, stay safe, and let us take care of it.
