Fiat Tyres

The importance of proper tyre care and replacement between services is something that's often overlooked by many drivers. The FiatCare Tyre Programme has been devised to make tyre buying as easy as possible:

• Easier to have your tyres checked by a professional, fully trained technician.
• Easier to discover what the condition of your tyres are and how much longer they might last
• Easier to ensure new tyres are of the right specification
• What's more, you could even save money against other, fast fit tyre centres.

FiatCare makes it easy to choose your tyres

Only the very best tyres, suited for the characteristics of each model, are chosen. As a tyre ages and reaches the end of its useful life, its specifically-chosen qualities are likely to be impaired. To maintain your fuel economy and ensure the safety of you, your passengers and other road-users, regularly check your tyres or bring them to us so we can check for you.

All our Fiat-trained technicians use special tools to help them ensure replacement doesn't mean accidental wheel damage.

At Thames Fiat we stock a range of tyres suitable for all cars and vans, including tyres by Dunlop, Continental, Michelin, Goodyear and Bridgestone. Tyres can be expensive purchases, so we also have a quality selection of lower-cost alternatives to suit your budget. To ensure we give you the best possible price, we also offer a price pledge guarantee, let us know if you find a tyre at a lower cost elsewhere and we will match it.

Knowing what tyre is the right one for your Fiat can cause confusion so our Fiat approved technicians are available to give the best advice, based on your needs.

It is integral that the tyres on your Fiat comply with the legal UK requirements, particularly where the tread is concerned – at a minimum this should be 1.6 millimetres however we would advise changing tyres at 3 millimetres for optimum safety. At Thames Fiat we suggest that you check the tyre tread every few weeks to ensure you stay safe on the road. The lower the tread, the less able the tyre is to grip the road so stopping distances increase. Correct inflation of your Fiat tyre is also important as this can affect the life of the tyre.
