On the road in Great Dunmow

The tyre jobs we do most for Great Dunmow cars

Same roads, same problems. This is what usually brings Great Dunmow drivers through the gate.

  • 1

    Airport runs and pressure

    A lot of Dunmow drivers do Stansted runs with a full car. Correct pressures for a loaded vehicle make a real difference to wear and to stopping distance.

  • 2

    A120 debris punctures

    The dual carriageway throws up plenty of metal. If you are losing pressure slowly after a run, get it plunged rather than topped up.

  • 3

    Tracking after roadworks

    Temporary surfaces and rutted lanes pull tracking out. Feathered edges on the front tread are the giveaway.

Local knowledge

Tyres in Great Dunmow, from people who drive these roads

Great Dunmow is a fifteen minute run east along the A120 to our Broad Road workshop. We look after a lot of Dunmow drivers, including people heading to and from Stansted who cannot afford to be off the road for long.

/Airport runs and tyre condition

If you are doing regular runs to Stansted with a loaded car, your tyres are working harder than normal. Pressures matter more with weight in the boot, and a tyre that is fine empty can overheat when it is under inflated and loaded. We will set your pressures correctly for the load rather than just to the door sticker figure.

/A120 dual carriageway wear

Steady high speed miles on the A120 wear tyres evenly but quickly, and the first sign is usually the tread blocks squaring off. Once the tread is under 3mm the wet stopping distance stretches noticeably at those speeds, which is worth knowing before winter arrives.

What drivers say

Word of mouth around Braintree

  • Picked up a screw on the way to work, called Sam and he had it patched and back on the car in twenty minutes. No fuss, no upsell.

    Dan, Bocking

  • Needed two tyres on a tight week. He showed me the part worns, checked the tread in front of me and it cost half what I expected.

    Michelle, Great Notley

  • Steering was pulling badly. Tracking sorted the same afternoon and the car drives straight again. Handy that they are open right through to 6pm.

    Reece, Witham
