Car Tyres - Gosport

Your tyres are the only part of your car in contact with the road. Their condition directly affects braking distance, handling, fuel efficiency, and safety, which makes tyre maintenance one of the most important aspects of keeping your vehicle roadworthy.

At RCJ Automotive, we supply and fit tyres across all makes and models, and we’ll always advise on the right tyre for your vehicle and how you use it, rather than simply fitting whatever’s available.

Signs Your Tyres Need Attention

Tread depth at or approaching the 1.6mm legal minimum
Uneven wear across the tyre width – often a sign of alignment or pressure issues
Visible damage such as cuts, bulges, or embedded objects
Persistent slow puncture or pressure loss
Cracking or perishing on older tyres, even with adequate tread
Vibration through the steering wheel at speed

Tyre Pressure and Safety

Correct tyre pressure is one of the most overlooked aspects of tyre care. Under-inflated tyres wear faster, reduce fuel efficiency, and compromise handling, while over-inflated tyres reduce grip and increase the risk of damage, and both affect how your car behaves in an emergency. We check and adjust pressures as standard when fitting or inspecting tyres.

Wheel Alignment and Tyre Wear

Incorrect wheel alignment is one of the most common causes of premature and uneven tyre wear. If you notice your tyres wearing faster than expected, or wearing unevenly across the tread, an alignment check is a sensible first step. At RCJ Automotive, we have Absolute Alignment equipment on-site to check and correct alignment accurately.
