With so many factors to consider when you are looking to buy tyres online, it can be tough to be sure that you’re making the best choice. You can easily find out the speed rating, load rating and fuel economy of a tyre, which could all make a difference to your driving experience. 

Key areas to consider when purchasing new tyres can include:

• Driving Style: Driving too quickly, heavy braking and quick cornering can all lead to uneven wear and impact the longevity of your vehicle's tyres.

• Different Seasons: Different seasons impact on driving conditions, so you may wish to tailor your tyres to each season. This can include installing summer tyres, winter tyres, or all-season tyres.

• Specialist tyres: Some vehicles require specialist tyres, such as homologated tyres, which are designed for specific models of cars for Original Equipment.

After buying your tyres online, the next step is to get them fitted at your local Protyre garage. We make this process quick and simple so you know exactly where you need to go and when you need to be there.

There is one important thing you need to bring with you when it’s time for your local tyre fitting. For any vehicle with locking wheel nuts fitted, we’ll need the special key in order to remove the wheel(s) from your vehicle.

To ensure that our team of mechanics and local tyre fitters can service your vehicle as quickly as possible, you need to find your locking wheel nut key and leave it in an obvious place for us.

Where is my Locking Wheel Nut Key?

The locking wheel nut key can be found in various locations of the vehicle. Typically, the locking wheel nut key can be located in either the glovebox, underneath the spare wheel or under the boot lining of your vehicle. 

The locking wheel nut key looks like a small, round component that looks like a bolt. Once you have found it, keep it in a safe place ahead of your scheduled tyre fitting.

If you are unable to find your locking wheel nut key, it is recommended that you contact your dealership or refer to your vehicle manual to help locate it. If you have lost your locking wheel nut key, you will need to purchase a replacement key in order to remove the wheels on your vehicle.

In the UK, tyres typically last between 25,000 to 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and habits. Regular tyre checks are essential for safety and performance.

To find your tyre size, check the sidewall of your current tyres for a series of numbers and letters (e.g., 205/55 R16). You can also find this information in your vehicle’s manual or on the sticker inside the driver’s door frame. For a detailed guide, visit our article on "How to Find Tyre Size" on our website.

You should consider changing your vehicle’s tyres if they have been damaged, the tread depth reaches 1.6mm or below, or if you are experiencing uneven wear. Similarly, this is the case if you notice poor handling or reduced grip. If your vehicle’s tyres are old, it might also be worth getting them replaced. 

Replacing only one tyre on a vehicle is typically not recommended as it can create an imbalance whilst driving and lead to issues including wheel misalignment, uneven wear on the tyres and can even impact handling and braking. It is typically recommended to replace tyres in pairs at a minimum.

Tyre wear can be affected by several factors, including driving habits, road conditions, tyre pressure, and alignment. Aggressive driving, under-inflated tyres, and poor wheel alignment can accelerate wear and impact safety. At Protyre, we offer free tyre checks to help identify and address issues that may affect tyre longevity.
