SPECIALISTS IN MOT & SERVICING ALL MAKES AND MODELS
TYRES
Tyres are amongst the most important and yet overlooked part of vehicle maintenance. Your tyres provide contact with the road and will, therefore, affect the ride quality of the vehicle, fuel consumption, safety and braking performance.
AT Basingstoke MOT & Service Centre we provide a complete tyre service for the convenience of our customers and can provide new tyres from a range of leading manufacturers and sizes to suit your vehicle and budget.
MOT INSPECTION ON TYRES
Inspection of your vehicle tyres forms part of the standard MOT test and any tyre not meeting the minimum tread requirements (1.6mm across 75% of the tread) will cause the vehicle to fail.
EQUIPMENT WE USE
BMSC has invested in state-of-the-art Hoffman tyre fitting equipment including fully computerised balancing to ensure the correct fitting and operation of your new tyres. We are happy to offer advice and guidance to customers when selecting tyres for their particular vehicle and style of driving.
TRACKING (2 and 4 wheel Alignment)
Signs that you need tracking re-alignment
- Vehicle pulling to the left or right when it should be going in a straight line
- The steering wheel is off-centre when you are driving in a straight line
- Tyres wearing unevenly on the inner/outer edges or in the centre tread only
- The steering wheel vibrates or feels loose – this could also indicate wheel balancing is required
Other tell-tail signs are strange knocking noises when rocking the steering left to right while stationary or knocking noises when driving over uneven road surfaces. This could also be down to some steering components starting to wear.
Not having these items rectified may lead to further problems and increased vehicle running costs including:
- Increased tyre wear and more regular replacement
- Increased fuel consumption
- Increased component wear and earlier replacement
*Please Note*
Your vehicle’s steering system is subjected to a great deal of stress while driving on even the smoothest of roads and with breaking and turning cornering. Uneven, rutted and potholed roads will add additional strain. Steering components over a period of time wear and will need adjusting or replacing i.e. steering racks, track rod ends, ball joints, bushes, and tie rods are all part of the steering system.
