Just Tyres information for tyre sidewall markings

Just Tyres are one of the only companies in the UK to concentrate exclusively on selling car tyres.

We believe that once tyres are on the car they should be properly looked after in the interests of safety and economy.

There’s a lot riding on your tyres!

Tyres are the only parts of the car which are in contact with the road. Your safety in acceleration, braking, steering and cornering, all depend on a small area of contact between the tyres and the road. It is therefore very important that your tyres are kept in good condition at all times. When the time comes to change your tyres, we’d be happy to help advise the best option to suit your tyre needs.
