Event Tyres operate a mobile tyre fitting service that replaces car tyres, 4×4 tyres, run-flat tyres and van tyres at your home or work address often up to 40% cheaper than the large high street tyre suppliers.

Why waste your lunch hour or weekends getting your car tyres fitted when we can come to your place of work and replace your tyres in the car park while you continue with your work or enjoy your lunch hour. If you are at home during the day then we can fit your tyres either on your driveway or at the roadside.

If your looking for new tyres then get a quotation online or give us a call on 08702 407 787 for advice or help

BRIDGESTONE 3G RFT UPDATE (16th July 2010)

Bridgestone claim that their latest 3rd generation run-flat tyres offer the same level of safety as previous run-flat tyres with vastly increased ride quality thanks to a tyre sidewall only 5% stiffer than a conventional tyre.

The key to reducing sidewall stiffness lies within “Heat Control”. When tyres are run at reduced or zero pressure, the friction on the distorted sidewall rapidly generates heat which can quickly destroy a tyre. Bridgestone Tyres have implemented three new technologies that reduce the heat generated by a tyre under run-flat conditions.

A new sidewall reinforced rubber reduces heat by 50% compared to previous run-flat tyres. Bridgestone have adopted “NanoPro-Tech” which reduces the friction that occurs between carbon molecules in the sidewall rubber which reduces heat build up. This allows for a softer tyre sidewall.

A “New Ply” fibre reduces tyre sidewall deformation by contracting as any heat builds up. This contraction of the tyre sidewall reduces deformation and prevents a rapid increase in temperature.

Protrusions in the tyre sidewall known as “Cooling Fins” create disturbances in the air flow around a tyre causing heat in the tyre sidewall to be reduced when driving on tyres that have zero pressure.

Tyre manufacturers are hoping this new run-flat technology will allow run-flat tyres to be produced in tyre sizes that have previously proved problematic increasing the safety for drivers across a broader range of vehicles.

Bridgestone have yet to confirm release dates and sizes for their 3rd generation run-flat tyres although they were hoping to launch them towards the end of 2009.
