Free Tyre Safety Check Mitcham
A free tyre safety check at IQ Tyres focuses on the tyre's overall condition and tread depth. If a concern is found, the workshop explains the next step based on the issue rather than assuming every tyre needs the same solution.
Quick answer
IQ Tyres provides a free tyre safety check at its Mitcham workshop. The check looks at tyre condition and tread depth, then explains whether the appropriate next step is monitoring, a puncture assessment, tyre maintenance or replacement.
Start with the problem
A tyre can look serviceable until a condition check reveals a concern.
Tread depth and visible tyre condition are assessed together. Cracked tyres are one of the recurring issues found during these checks, so the workshop explains what has been seen and the appropriate tyre route rather than offering a generic pass or fail answer.
Workshop assessment route
Condition and tread first, then the next route depends on the finding.
The workshop inspects the tyre's overall condition and tread depth. If it identifies a concern, the next step depends on the issue found: it may be maintenance guidance, a puncture repair assessment or a replacement discussion.
02
Condition and tread assessed
The workshop inspects overall tyre condition and tread depth, including visible cracking where present.
03
Next step explained
The workshop explains the suitable tyre-service route based on the issue found, before any work is agreed.
Choose the right route
What can a free tyre safety check help you decide?
This service is the likely route when
- You want an informed check of tyre condition and tread depth
- You have noticed cracking, wear or another visible tyre concern
- You need a clear workshop explanation before deciding on the next tyre route
Choose a different route when
- You already need a repairability decision: start with a puncture repair assessment
- You need detailed guidance about cuts, bulges or sidewall damage: use the sidewall damage guide
- You need a comprehensive diagnosis of a wider vehicle fault: this check does not include alignment, mechanical, brake, suspension or full TPMS diagnosis

Frequently asked questions
What is a free tyre safety check?
It is a free workshop check of overall tyre condition and tread depth, followed by an explanation of the suitable next tyre-service route if a concern is found.
What does IQ Tyres inspect during the check?
IQ Tyres inspects the overall condition of the tyre and its tread depth. The check is not a full diagnosis of every tyre, wheel or vehicle fault.
Is the tyre safety check really free?
Yes. IQ Tyres provides the tyre safety check free of charge at its Mitcham workshop.
What happens if you find cracked tyres?
Cracked tyres are a recurring finding during the workshop checks. IQ Tyres explains the condition found and the appropriate next tyre route based on the issue.
Does the check tell me whether my tyres meet the tread requirement?
The workshop assesses tread depth as part of the check. For cars, light vans and light trailers, GOV.UK states a 1.6mm minimum across the middle three-quarters and around the entire tyre; use the UK tyre requirements guide for detailed legal information.
Does the check include puncture repair or full TPMS diagnosis?
No. The safety check can identify a tyre concern, but puncture repairability and TPMS warning diagnosis need their own appropriate workshop route.
