Mobile Tyre Fitting in Bournemouth

Bournemouth is fed by the A338 Wessex Way, a fast spur running in from the A31. Everything else is dense residential streets, seafront roads and, in summer, a great deal of visitor traffic.

Roads we get called to around Bournemouth

• A338 Wessex Way — the main spur into the town, dual carriageway with limited hard shoulder.
• A31 — east towards Southampton and the M27, west towards Dorchester.
• A35 and the routes through to Poole and Christchurch.
• Seafront roads, clifftop car parks and the residential grid inland.

The Wessex Way

It is fast and there are stretches where there is very little space beside the running lane. If a tyre fails, get as far left as the layout allows, get everyone out on the passenger side, and stand well back from the carriageway.

Summer traffic and roof loads

Holiday traffic here often means fully laden cars — four people, a boot full, sometimes a roofbox. That matters for tyres: most cars have a separate set of pressures for a full load, listed on the plate in the driver's door shut. Running normal pressures with a holiday load is exactly the combination that punishes a tyre on a hot motorway.

Worth five minutes before you set off. See checking pressures properly.
