Looking for a tyres Croydon inspection? Smith’s of London has you covered.
Your vehicle’s tyres play a crucial role in maintaining a safe connection between your car and the road, keeping you safe as you drive. Worn or poorly maintained tyres can negatively affect your safety and your car’s overall performance.
As tread depth decreases, the tyres lose their ability to grip the road effectively. This can result in increased stopping distances, reduced traction, and a higher chance of skidding or aquaplaning.
Additionally, tyres in poor condition are more likely to suffer from punctures or blowouts, which is the last thing you need as you’re driving.
At Smith’s of London, our team of experts has extensive experience working with all makes and models. We have the skills and expertise to thoroughly check the condition of your vehicle’s tyres and replace them if needed.
Call Smith’s of London today for all your tyres Croydon needs.
What are the minimum tread requirements? And how do I measure this?
In the UK, the law requires tyres to have a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm. While a tread gauge is the most accurate way to measure this, the 20p coin test is a simple alternative.
Place a 20p coin into the part of your tyre with the lowest tread depth. If you can see the outer rim of the coin, it’s time to have your tyres inspected immediately.
Driving with tyres that don’t meet the legal tread depth is dangerous and illegal.
To avoid fines and remain safe on the road, call Smith’s of London today for all your tyres Croydon needs.

How to check your tyre pressure?
Start by finding your vehicle’s recommended tyre pressure. This information is usually located inside the driver’s door frame or inside the fuel cap.
Next, remove the dust caps from each tyre. Attach your pressure gauge to the tyre valve to check the current pressure.
Compare the reading to your vehicle’s recommended levels. If the pressure is too low, adjust the settings on the air machine and inflate the tyres to the correct level.

Nothing but positive things to say about Liam and Smiths of London. I had an issue that I needed resolving very urgently and Liam went above and beyond to ensure that he was able to help. I have been a customer with them for a number of years and would not consider going anywhere else. Super friendly, helpful and trustworthy.

We have only great things to say about Smith's of London. Liam is always extremely helpful and is always very honest with you. Just wondering if they are ever going to reopen as it would be a shame to lose such a wonderful car garage service centre in London.

Wonderful team and excellent service at Smith's. Fixed the aircon (diagnosis, new condenser and replaced o-rings) for much cheaper than one of the big chain garages quoted. Felt very transparent as they talked me through the process, and kept me updated with progress along the way.
Will return for future MOTs and services. -
Smith’s of London is the best mot and service garage I have ever used.
I have been with them two years now for mot and services and other problems with my car.
They are so helpful with advice and they do not do any work until I receive a breakdown of work to be done and cost.
I will be using these guys for every car issue I have, trust them completely. Told friends and... Read More -
The high rating is not a coincidence. Clear communication, excellent diagnostics and so generous with their time. Really can't speak highly enough of Liam and the team. Won't be using another garage in London if I can help it.
