Driving in Truro, and what it means for your tyres
Truro sits in a bowl, so almost every road out of the centre climbs. Lemon Street, Tregolls Road and the hills up to Highertown and Kenwyn are steep, and in wet weather, which in Cornwall is often, they ask a lot of brakes and front tyres.
The A30 is Cornwall's spine, and the A390 links Truro to it and on to St Austell. In summer, holiday traffic makes both slow, and the main roundabouts back up for miles. A fitter who comes to you means not adding to it.
Cornish lanes are lined with granite faced hedges that sit right up against the tarmac, and on narrow lanes it is easy to clip one. That is one of the most common causes of sidewall damage in the county. Truro has no Clean Air Zone charge.
Mobile tyre fitting in Truro
Most homes around Truro have drives or quiet roads, and the hospital at Treliske and the business parks at Threemilestone have large car parks a fitter can use with permission. Choose your spot, add notes about any lanes or gates, and the fitter brings your tyres, fits and balances them where the car is and takes the old ones away.
