If you want to ensure your vehicle is safe, roadworthy and efficient, keeping your tyres in good condition is vital. Take a look at how Thatcham Tyre Centre can help…

Did you know that vehicles used for short journeys are prone to experience exhaust corrosion more quickly than those engaged in long distance journeys? Read on for more facts...

The British weather delivers challenges to drivers; no matter how competent you are, the need to have the right tyres fitted for the optimum performance levels, whatever the weather conditions, is paramount. Let us help to ensure you get the correct tyres.

Summer 2018 hit some phenomenal temperatures and for some of us the advance in to autumn is a welcome break from the heat. So, if you feel that way, how well do you think your car tyres have coped during the hottest summer since 1976?

Unique tread and composition qualities, substantial investment in development and focus on driver safety means that using the right car tyre is good old fashioned common sense. The tyres are the only part of any vehicle which have contact with the road.

As a leading local tyre centre, we witnessed a sharp increase in enquiries about winter tyres which didn’t surprise our knowledgeable team. It’s ironic that when winter tyres are recommended but the weather isn’t too challenging that drivers shy away from an investment. 

Winter tyres for remote areas in which roads aren’t treated makes good old-fashioned sense and in urban areas your driving distances and frequencies, experience of driving in snow, stress levels in bad weather and the risk of snow, ice and tricky journeys across the winter months are deciding factors.

We can’t nag you from dawn until dusk about getting your tyre tread or the exhaust’s rattling checked any more than we can remind you to go to the dentist or visit your Aunty Flo. However, we can recommend that you contact us to guarantee smooth and safe operation of your transportation. ROSPA and a succession of governments have constructed strict guidelines about how efficiently and environmentally safe vehicles must be managed and maintained.

On behalf of Mick Jones and his team, welcome to Thatcham Tyre and Exhaust’s exciting new website built by Wysi of Berkshire.

We’ve decided to freshen our online appearance for 2017 and we hope that you find the site simple to use, accessible and informative. We know that customers don’t want to read reams of information or see industry jargon during a website visit so our webpages contain clear wording and images of what you need to know rather than a lot of unnecessary waffle and diverting background patterns that give you a headache.

We hate to lecture, so we won’t, but you should be aware of your responsibilities related to tyre laws. Please don’t close the webpage window. This will be interesting and informative so please read on.
