HGV Tyre Replacement

Yes. Explain whether the tyre is on a steer, drive, lift or other axle. The replacement must be selected for the vehicle and its operating requirements.

Registration helps identify the vehicle, but it may not confirm the tyres currently fitted or an operator’s specification. Supply the sidewall markings or fleet tyre record as well.

Report the inner or outer position and any damage to the adjacent tyre. The surrounding assembly needs assessment rather than assuming only one tyre is affected.

Provide the brand, pattern and full size. Availability and suitability must be confirmed before the fitting is agreed.

Not necessarily. Uneven wear may warrant further assessment of pressure, alignment, suspension or operating conditions. Tell the fitter what you have noticed.

Ask for the tyre specification, wheel position and work details to be included in the job record or invoice. Agree your documentation requirements in advance.

HGV tyre construction, specification, quantity and fitting location determine the main costs. Wheel condition and any additional faults found during inspection can affect the agreed scope.

Have the registration, axle configuration, tyre markings and fleet specification ready. Say whether the vehicle is laden and whether the damage followed an impact or pressure loss. Call 0800 111 6480 to confirm the scope, price and attendance.
