Mobile Tyre Fitting in Addingham
Addingham, the B6160 and Bolton Abbey — any hour.
Maximum 60 minute response. We have drivers across England and Wales, so a call gets a fitter to the vehicle rather than you moving a car that is not safe to move. Call 07989 606060 with your tyre size and location.
Addingham is a Wharfedale village between Ilkley and Skipton. The A65 used to run along its Main Street; since the start of the 1990s it has gone round the south side on the bypass, and Main Street is a village street again.
Two other roads meet the A65 here. The A6034 comes down off the moor from Silsden, and the B6160 sets off north for Bolton Abbey and on up the dale into North Yorkshire.
Roads we get called to around Addingham
- The A65 east to Ilkley and west towards Skipton.
- Main Street, the old line of the A65 through the village.
- The B6160 north to Bolton Abbey.
- The A6034 Silsden Road where it meets the A65.
- Moor Lane, the old Roman road towards Skipton.
- Turner Lane up to Addingham Moorside.
Main Street after the bypass
The bypass was a long time coming: a public inquiry in October 1986, work under way in 1989, and two miles of new road open by the start of 1991. Until then everything on the A65 came along Main Street. It kept the length and the width that traffic needed, but lost the traffic.
That makes Main Street a straightforward place to work today, and the new road the harder one. If a tyre goes on the A65 near the village, coming off onto Main Street is usually better than stopping on the bypass itself.
Up the B6160 to Bolton Abbey
The B6160 leaves Addingham for the Bolton Abbey estate and then winds on up Wharfedale. The estate has four car parks: Bolton Abbey itself and Riverside, both off the B6160, then Strid Wood and Barden Fields further up — and Barden Fields is closed until spring 2027. Parking is charged, and cheaper booked ahead than paid at the gate.
On a fine weekend a large share of the traffic on the B6160 is heading there or on its way back, and all of it comes through Addingham. If you are in one of the estate car parks, tell us which one and roughly where in it; the four are spread over a good few miles of valley.
Mills and footbridges
Low Mill opened in 1787 and is recorded as Yorkshire's first worsted-spinning mill; the last of Addingham's mills closed in 1976. The Wharfe here is crossed on foot — a suspension bridge near West Hall replaced one that a flood took away in 1935, and a footbridge took over from the old ferry to Beamsley.
None of those carries a car. If you are on the far bank, tell us so, because we reach you by road and that means going round.
We also cover Ilkley down the A65, Silsden over the moor and Skipton the other way.
What we can do in Addingham
- Mobile tyre fitting — supply and fit a replacement at your home, workplace or the roadside, including balancing and disposal of the old casing.
- Mobile puncture repair — where the damage is inside the repairable area of the tread, a repair is cheaper and quicker than replacement.
- Commercial tyre fitting — vans, minibuses and other light commercial vehicles.

Before we arrive
- Find your locking wheel nut key. Without it the wheel cannot come off. It is usually in the glovebox, the boot well, or with the spare.
- Read your tyre size off the sidewall, for example 205/55 R16 91V, so we arrive with the right tyre rather than making a second trip.
- If you are on a motorway or dual carriageway, get as far left as you can or into a refuge, then everyone out through the passenger doors, over the barrier and well back from the carriageway — not in the car. Ring with the junction number and your direction of travel.
- Describe where you are, not just your postcode. A junction number, a bay number, a farm, a pub or a bridge puts us on the spot far faster — rural postcodes can cover a mile of near-identical lane. We bring our own lighting, so darkness is not a problem.
More detail in our guides on what to do with a flat tyre on the motorway and checking your tread depth.
Repair or replace
Whether a tyre can be repaired is decided by where the damage is, not by how big the hole looks. Damage inside the central three-quarters of the tread, up to 6mm across, is repairable under BS AU 159. Damage in the shoulder or the sidewall is not, at any size — there is no way to reinforce a sidewall that flexes on every revolution.
The other thing that rules out a repair is having driven on the tyre flat. A short distance is enough: the sidewall folds under the rim and the internal cords break. That often does not deflate the tyre at the time — it shows up days later as a soft rounded bulge, and a tyre in that condition has to be replaced whatever the original puncture looked like.
How the damage was made matters as much as where it is. A nail or a screw pierces, leaving a neat hole that is usually well within the limit. Flint, crushed stone, quarry aggregate and dropped stainless fixings cut instead — a gouge or a tear rather than a puncture — and a cut frequently exceeds the repairable size even when it lands squarely in the middle of the tread. That is why we take the tyre off and look inside before telling you either way, rather than judging it from the outside.
Impact damage behaves the same way. A pothole or a kerb taken at speed compresses the suspension fully and pinches the sidewall between the rim and the obstacle. If that has happened, check both tyres on that side — the rear takes the same hit a fraction of a second after the front — and look for a bulge rather than for a hole.
We carry both outcomes to every job, so a repair that turns out not to be safe does not become a second visit.
Age and wear
Tread depth is not the only thing that retires a tyre. Rubber hardens as it ages whatever the mileage, which is why a caravan, motorhome, trailer or second car can carry almost full tread on a casing that is well past useful life. The four-digit date code on the sidewall gives the week and year it was made — our guide on how long tyres last covers where the line falls.
Depth matters most in standing water. The legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters, but a tyre's ability to clear water falls off well above that — by about 3mm you are losing it noticeably, and aquaplaning starts at lower speeds than most drivers expect. Our tread depth guide covers checking it with a 20p coin in about a minute.
Wear patterns are worth reading too. Both outer shoulders going before the middle usually means underinflation, or a lot of cornering and hill descent; one edge alone is more often alignment. We will tell you which it looks like when we are there — see uneven tyre wear for the full picture.
Vans and light commercials
A van needs a tyre carrying the C marking and the correct load index. That is not interchangeable with a passenger tyre of the same nominal size, whatever may have been fitted before — the casing is built to carry more, and a loaded van on passenger-rated tyres is running outside the rating.
Tell us whether the van is loaded when you ring, and we will bring the right fitment first time. Details of what we carry are on the commercial tyres page.
How the repair is done
The wheel comes off, the tyre comes off the rim, and the inside of the casing is inspected before anything else happens. The puncture is then repaired from within using a combined plug and patch, and the wheel is balanced before it goes back on.
That inspection is the part that matters. An external plug pushed into the tread without removing the tyre is a get-you-home measure: it can seal the hole while leaving damage inside the casing entirely undetected, and that damage is what causes tyres to fail later at speed. It is the same job a garage does, done where the vehicle already is.
A slow leak with no puncture to find
A tyre that loses air over days with nothing in the tread has usually failed at the seal rather than the surface — a corroded alloy bead seat, or a perished valve stem. Neither can be found with the tyre still on the rim, and neither is fixed by topping the pressure up.
It typically announces itself on the first cold morning of the year. Cold air contracts, dropping the pressure a few PSI, and a leak that was tolerable through mild weather is a visibly flat tyre by the time you come out to the car. The fix is the tyre off the rim, the sealing face cleaned back to sound metal, and a new valve.
Working conditions around Addingham
Lanes and farm access. Single-track lanes need somewhere to put both your vehicle and ours without blocking the road, so a gateway or a passing place is worth reaching if the car is still drivable. Agricultural traffic drops wire, staples and broken tines, and harvest spreads them well beyond the field gate — which is why the lanes produce punctures out of proportion to how little traffic they carry.
Common questions in Addingham
- I am in one of the Bolton Abbey car parks.
- Tell us which of the four and where in it. They are spread along the valley, and the one you drove into is not always the one closest to where you walked.
- I have come off the moor road at the A65.
- Pull into the village if the car will go that far. Main Street has room; the A65 junction does not.
- Can you reach me on the Beamsley side of the river?
- Yes, but by road — the crossings in the village are footbridges. Say which bank you are on at the start.
- Do you cover Beamsley, Draughton and Nesfield?
- Yes, on both sides of the Wharfe and up towards the Dales.
