Mobile Tyre Fitting in Exeter

Exeter is where the M5 ends and the West Country begins. Traffic transfers onto the A30 and the A38, and in summer that transition point becomes one of the busiest places in the south west.

Roads we get called to around Exeter

• M5 junctions 29 to 31, including the transfer onto the A30 and A38.
• A30 — west towards Okehampton and Cornwall.
• A38 — south west towards Plymouth.
• A377 and the city's own network, plus the park-and-ride sites.

Holiday traffic

In summer these roads carry a huge volume of laden cars, often with roofboxes or towing. Fully loaded vehicles need the higher set of tyre pressures listed on the door plate, and a great many people never change them.

An under-inflated tyre carrying a holiday load on a hot day is the classic recipe for a failure. Five minutes with a gauge before you leave is genuinely worth it.

Heading further west

If you are continuing into Cornwall or onto Dartmoor, deal with a suspect tyre here. Past Exeter the roads narrow, the distances between places to stop lengthen, and phone signal gets less reliable.

If you have no spare and only a sealant kit, know its limits: small tread punctures only, and nothing that involves a sidewall. See spares and sealant kits.
