New Tyre Installation
Fitting a new tyre is a precise job: a damaged bead, a missed valve or a badly seated wheel creates vibrations and slow leaks that look like faulty tyres. This page covers the fitting itself, whether the tyres come from us or you already have them.

How we do new tyre installation
- 1
Check the tyres before they go on
We confirm the size and the date code of each new tyre, and check the direction arrows and any inside or outside markings so they are mounted the right way round.
- 2
Clean and inspect the rim
Each wheel is cleaned at the bead, checked for bends and cracks, and protected during mounting so alloys are not scratched.
- 3
Mount with fresh valve parts
The tyre is mounted, new valve stems or rubber seals are fitted, and TPMS sensors are handled carefully and tested.
- 4
Balance and road-force logic
Each wheel is spun and weighted. If a wheel still shows a stubborn vibration, we look at the rim runout rather than adding more weight.
- 5
Refit, torque and relearn
Wheels go back on in a star pattern, nuts are torqued, and if the car needs a TPMS relearn we do it before the handover.
Signs it is time
- You have bought tyres online or from a shop and need them mounted on your own wheels
- New tyres fitted elsewhere left a shake at 100 km/h or a pull to one side
- A slow leak started within days of a fitting at another outlet
- Alloy rims show fresh scuffs after a rushed tyre change
- The TPMS warning light came on after a tyre change and never went off
What usually causes it
Wheels not properly balanced
Even a new tyre carries tiny weight differences. Without balancing on a machine, the wheel hops at speed and the steering wheel shimmies, usually between 90 and 120 km/h.
Dirty or corroded bead seat
Salt air near the coast and brake dust leave a crust on the rim lip. If it is not cleaned, the new tyre does not seal evenly and loses air slowly.
Old valve stems reused
Rubber valves harden in the heat and crack. Fitting new tyres onto old valves invites a leak that returns within months.
TPMS sensors disturbed
Pressure sensors inside the wheel can be damaged by careless tools or need to be re-learned by the car. A warning light after fitting is usually a sensor not re-registered.
By make and model
Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi
Direct TPMS sensors need to be re-registered after fitting, and low-profile alloys scratch easily, so protected mounting matters.
In Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman
Many drivers here buy tyres from a tyre shop sale or an online marketplace and then look for someone to fit them. We are happy to fit tyres you bring, and we check the date code before we start, because a bargain tyre that has sat in a hot warehouse for years is a poor bargain. Because the job is done at the workshop, we arrange pickup and delivery.
Questions about new tyre installation
Can you fit tyres I bought elsewhere?
Yes. Bring them, or have the seller deliver them to us. We check size and age first and tell you before fitting if anything is wrong.
Why do I need new valves with new tyres?
Valve stems are cheap, but a perished one is a common reason for a slow leak. Changing them at the same time avoids taking the tyre off again.
My TPMS light stayed on after fitting. Why?
A sensor may not have been re-learned by the car, or a battery in one sensor has run out. We scan the system and re-register the sensors.
Is wheel alignment part of fitting new tyres?
It is a separate job, but we advise it if the old tyres wore unevenly. Otherwise the new ones will wear out in the same odd way.
