“People Also Ask” – Your Questions About Home Tyre Replacement Answered:

Can breakdown services replace tyres at home address?

While some breakdown services might assist with fitting your spare wheel at your home address to get you mobile, they typically do not carry a wide range of new tyres for direct replacement. Their primary role is roadside assistance and recovery. For a full home tyre replacement or professional puncture repair at home, a dedicated mobile tyre fitting service like Mobile Tyre Tech 24/7 is your best solution. We bring new tyres and all the necessary specialist equipment directly to you, offering a comprehensive service that breakdown providers generally don’t.

How do I replace my tyre if flat at home?

If you have a flat tyre at home and decide to change it yourself, the basic steps involve:

1. Safety First: Park on a flat, stable surface, engage the handbrake, and use wheel chocks if available.
2. Access Tools: Retrieve your spare tyre, jack, and wheel brace from your boot.
3. Loosen Nuts: Slightly loosen the wheel nuts before jacking the car up.
4. Jack Up Car: Place the jack correctly under the vehicle’s jacking point and raise the car until the flat tyre is off the ground.
5. Remove Tyre: Fully unscrew the wheel nuts, remove the flat tyre, and fit the spare.
6. Lower & Tighten: Lower the car, tighten the nuts, and store the flat tyre.

    

However, for safety, convenience, and professional fitting/balancing, it is highly recommended to use a mobile tyre fitting service. DIY tyre changes can be hazardous, especially without the right tools or experience, and many modern cars don’t even come with a full-size spare. Mobile Tyre Tech 24/7 provides a safe, expert alternative right at your home.
