Tyre Fitting

Your tyres are the only thing between your car and the road, so getting the right ones fitted properly matters. At Demon Autos, we supply and fit tyres from budget to premium brands for all makes, models and sizes. Every tyre is precision balanced on our equipment and we check your alignment while we are at it.
Whether you need a single replacement, a full set of four, or a puncture repaired, we’ve got you covered. Most popular sizes are in stock and ready to go. Specialist or less common sizes can be sourced and delivered next working day. A full set of four tyres typically takes around 1 hour to fit and balance.
How Do You Know When Your Tyres Need Replacing?
The legal minimum tread depth in the UK is 1.6 millimetres across the central three-quarters of the tyre, around the entire circumference. However, most tyre safety experts recommend replacing tyres once they reach 3 millimetres, because braking performance drops significantly below this point, particularly on wet roads. Driving around Stoke-on-Trent in the rain with worn tyres dramatically increases your stopping distance and the risk of aquaplaning. You can check tread depth using a 20p coin — if the outer band of the coin is visible when inserted into the tread, your tyres are approaching the legal limit.
Uneven tread wear is another sign that your tyres need attention, and it often indicates an underlying alignment or suspension issue. If the inner or outer edges of your tyres are wearing faster than the centre, your wheel alignment is likely out. If one tyre is wearing much faster than the others, there could be a suspension problem on that corner. Drivers in Milton, Norton Green and Burslem who regularly navigate potholes and speed bumps are more prone to alignment issues. At Demon Autos, we always check alignment when fitting new tyres to prevent premature wear on your new set.
Visible damage to the tyre sidewall, such as bulges, cracks, cuts or exposed cords, means the tyre should be replaced immediately regardless of tread depth. Sidewall damage compromises the structural integrity of the tyre and can lead to a sudden blowout at speed, which is extremely dangerous. Age is also a factor, even if the tread looks fine. Rubber compounds degrade over time, and most manufacturers recommend replacing tyres older than five to six years. If you are unsure whether your tyres need replacing, bring your car to our workshop near Smallthorne and we will inspect them for free.
What Tyre Type Is Right for Your Car?
Choosing the right tyre involves matching the correct size, speed rating, load index and tyre type to your vehicle and driving conditions. Your vehicle handbook or the placard on the driver's door jamb specifies the approved tyre sizes and ratings for your car. Fitting the wrong size or a tyre with an insufficient speed or load rating can affect handling, invalidate your insurance and result in an MOT failure. At Demon Autos in Milton, we always check the manufacturer specification before recommending a tyre to ensure it is correct for your vehicle.
Beyond the technical specifications, you also need to choose between budget, mid-range and premium tyre brands. Premium tyres from manufacturers like Michelin, Continental and Bridgestone offer the best performance in wet and dry conditions, the lowest road noise and the longest tread life. Mid-range brands like Hankook, Firestone and Dunlop offer excellent value with performance that is close to premium levels. Budget tyres are significantly cheaper but typically wear faster and offer less grip, particularly in the wet. For drivers around Abbey Hulton, Carmountside and Eaton Park, we usually recommend mid-range as the sweet spot between value and safety.
Seasonal tyre choices are also worth considering for drivers in the Stoke-on-Trent area. All-season tyres provide a good compromise for the UK climate, maintaining decent grip in cold, wet winter conditions while performing well in summer. Dedicated winter tyres offer superior grip below seven degrees Celsius and are worth considering if you regularly drive early mornings through Norton Green or Burslem during the colder months. We carry a range of options and are happy to discuss which tyre type best suits your driving patterns, budget and the conditions you typically encounter.
How Does Wheel Alignment Work?
Wheel alignment, sometimes called tracking, refers to the precise angles at which your wheels sit relative to each other and to the road surface. The three main alignment angles are toe, camber and caster. Toe is the most commonly adjusted and refers to whether the front edges of the tyres point inward or outward when viewed from above. Incorrect toe alignment is the leading cause of uneven tyre wear and can make the car pull to one side or feel vague and unstable during straight-line driving.
Camber is the angle of the wheel when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If the top of the wheel leans outward, that is positive camber. If it leans inward, that is negative camber. Incorrect camber causes the inner or outer edge of the tyre to wear excessively. Caster affects steering feel and stability but is typically only adjustable on certain vehicle types. At Demon Autos near Burslem and Smallthorne, we measure and adjust all adjustable alignment angles using precision equipment to bring your wheels back to the manufacturer specification.
Alignment can be knocked out by hitting a pothole, clipping a kerb, driving over speed bumps at speed or simply through normal wear on suspension bushings and ball joints. The roads around Stoke-on-Trent, Milton and Abbey Hulton are not always in the best condition, so alignment issues are something we see regularly. We recommend an alignment check whenever you fit new tyres, after any impact that felt significant, or if you notice uneven tyre wear or the steering wheel sitting off-centre. A quick alignment adjustment can save you hundreds of pounds in premature tyre wear over the life of a set of tyres.

Demon Autos & Recovery at Unit 5 Milton Road in Milton supplies and fits tyres for all makes, models and sizes, from 13-inch city car tyres to 20-inch SUV and performance fitments.

Common Questions About This Service
What tyre brands do you stock?
We supply tyres from budget to premium brands to suit every requirement and budget. Our range includes well-known names like Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Bridgestone, Goodyear, Dunlop, Hankook and Firestone, as well as quality budget options like Nankang and Westlake. We will recommend the best tyre for your driving style and budget.
How long does it take to fit new tyres?
Fitting a full set of four tyres typically takes around 45-60 minutes including wheel balancing. A single tyre change can be done in around 15-20 minutes. If we need to order a specific size or brand, we can usually get it delivered next working day and have you booked in the same day it arrives.
Do you offer wheel alignment?
Yes, we carry out wheel alignment checks and adjustments. Misaligned wheels cause uneven tyre wear, poor handling and can increase your fuel consumption. We recommend an alignment check whenever you fit new tyres, after hitting a pothole or kerb, or if you notice your car pulling to one side.
Can you repair a puncture or do I need a new tyre?
We assess every puncture individually. If the damage is in the central tread area and caused by a nail or screw, a proper plug and patch repair is usually safe and effective. If the puncture is on the sidewall, close to the edge of the tread, or the tyre has been driven on flat, it must be replaced for safety reasons. We will always advise you honestly.
Can I bring my own tyres to be fitted?
Yes, you are welcome to bring your own tyres and we will fit and balance them for you. Just make sure they are the correct size and speed rating for your vehicle. We charge a fitting and balancing fee per tyre, and we will check the condition of each tyre before fitting to make sure they are safe and roadworthy.
