Tyre Pressure

Correct tyre pressure supports safe handling, even wear and improved fuel efficiency. Check regularly using manufacturer guidelines, typically found inside your car’s driver’s door, fuel flap or handbook.

Underinflated Underinflated tyres increase rolling resistance, reduce fuel efficiency and cause uneven wear on the outer edges. They also compromise handling, braking performance and raise the risk of overheating and failure.
Overinflated Overinflated tyres reduce the contact patch with the road, leading to decreased grip and a harsher ride quality. They wear more quickly in the centre and are more vulnerable to damage.
Properly inflated Properly inflated tyres maximise grip, improve braking stability and promote even tread wear. They enhance fuel efficiency, extend tyre lifespan and ensure your vehicle performs safely and predictably in a range of conditions.

Our Safety Precautions

We use precise alignment equipment to measure and adjust wheel angles accurately. Our experts identify uneven wear patterns and correct alignment issues, improving stability, steering response and tyre lifespan.

Regular checks help prevent costly damage and maintain consistent performance, ensuring your vehicle remains safe, efficient and comfortable on every journey.

Wheel Alignment

Correct wheel alignment ensures tyres meet the road at the proper angle. It improves handling, reduces uneven wear and enhances fuel efficiency, delivering a smoother, safer driving experience.

Keeping You Safe with Accurate Wheel Alignment and Tyre Care

We conscientiously check each wheel to ensure that it’s correctly aligned. If not, it’s likely that you’ve been experiencing steering issues and a reduction in fuel efficiency. Correctly aligned wheels not only minimise the risk of irregular steering, they also help reduce the chances of problematic suspension.

At our Perth, Dunfermline and Stirling locations, our expert technicians are able to accurately assess the primary tracking angles of each wheel, as per manufacturer stipulations.

There are many reasons for incorrect alignment, such as your vehicle colliding with another vehicle or object, hitting a curb or encountering a pothole. Anyone of these things can cause aberrant tracking, which is why we recommend having your wheels checked with us on an annual basis.

Inspect your tyres

Regular tyre checks help maintain safety, performance and efficiency. Look out for:

  • Uneven tread wear across the tyre surface.
  • Cuts, cracks or bulges in sidewalls.
  • Objects embedded in the tread.
  • Incorrect tyre pressure levels – perform regular tyre pressure checks.
  • Reduced tread depth approaching legal limits

If you notice any of these issues, book a professional inspection with Flear & Thomson promptly.

Don’t risk it

Tyres are your vehicle’s only contact with the road, so their condition is critical. If damage is detected, our team can advise on safe tyre repair or replacement.

You can rely on Flear & Thomson to help you stay safe with expert checks and reliable solutions.

Tyre Depth

Adequate tread depth is essential for grip, especially in wet conditions. Deeper tread channels disperse water effectively, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and improving braking performance on slippery surfaces.
