CityGrip provides 24/7 mobile tyre change on the M53, covering J1 to J12 including the hard shoulder and the emergency refuge areas on the smart-motorway sections. We fit your spare, supply and fit a replacement tyre if you have no spare, deal with locking wheel nuts and seized wheels, or recover the vehicle if the tyre cannot be changed safely on a live carriageway. Motorway mobile tyre change runs from £250 to £750 depending on the tyre and vehicle, with the exact price agreed before we set off. Call 07960 200253 for a mobile tyre fitter near you on the M53.
The M53 is the Wirral’s main spine road, carrying tens of thousands of vehicles a day off the Bidston Moss viaduct and into the Kingsway Tunnel under the Mersey, on a route first opened in 1972 to connect the peninsula to the A55 and North Wales. Our national network covers the full length, reaching your junction with the equipment to change the wheel or fit a replacement.
M53 mobile tyre FAQs
Do you cover the M53 and the Kingsway Tunnel approach?
Yes. We cover the full M53 from Junction 1 at Wallasey and the Kingsway Tunnel to the A55 near Chester, including the Bidston Moss viaduct, which carries around 63,000 vehicles a day onto the tunnel approach.
Is the Bidston Moss viaduct weight restricted?
It has been the subject of a strengthening scheme to allow full 40-tonne HGVs, after decades of restrictions. If you break down on the viaduct itself, get behind the barrier where you can and call us rather than attempting anything on the structure yourself.
How much is a mobile tyre change on the M53?
Motorway mobile tyre change runs from £250 to £750. It costs more than an ordinary roadside tyre change (from £90) because it is done on a live, high-speed carriageway with the correct warning equipment and safety procedures. A common tyre on a standard car sits at the lower end; a large, low-profile, run-flat or 4×4 tyre supplied at night sits at the upper end. We agree the exact figure on the phone before we set off.
Can you fit a tyre if I have no spare near J1 Wallasey Kingsway Tunnel on the M53?
Yes. Most new cars carry no spare, only a sealant kit, which cannot fix a sidewall cut or a blowout. We can supply and fit a matching tyre at the roadside near J1 Wallasey Kingsway Tunnel where it is safe to do so, or recover you towards J4 Woodchurch if it is not.
Should I change the tyre myself between J1 Wallasey Kingsway Tunnel and J12 Chester on the M53?
No. Changing a wheel anywhere on the M53, whether that is up by J1 Wallasey Kingsway Tunnel or down towards J12 Chester, is one of the most dangerous things you can do on a motorway. Get everyone out of the left-hand doors and behind the safety barrier, and call us. If you are stuck in a live lane and cannot get out safely, stay belted in with your hazards on and call 999.
How do I tell you exactly where I am on the M53?
Give us 'M53', the last junction you passed (for example J5 Hooton), your direction of travel, and the number on the nearest blue marker post or the driver location sign on the verge. That pins your position to within about 100 metres so we reach you quickly.
Can you change tyres on vans and 4x4s on the M53?
Yes. We change tyres on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials anywhere along the M53, and carry the equipment for larger wheels, locking nuts and wheels seized to the hub.
My car has run-flat tyres, do I still need you on the M53?
Run-flats let you keep going a limited distance at reduced speed, typically around 50 miles at up to 50mph, but that is a get-you-off-the-M53 measure, not a repair, and many run-flats cannot be repaired at all once run flat. Leave at the next exit if you safely can, then call us to supply and fit a replacement or recover you.
My tyre pressure warning light has come on near J2 Bidston Moss viaduct, can I carry on?
Treat it as a warning that something is wrong. A slow puncture can become a blowout at M53 speeds. Ease off, leave at the next exit if you can do so safely and check the tyre. If it is going down, do not carry on, get somewhere safe and call us.
What is the legal tyre tread depth for driving the M53?
The legal minimum is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tread and around the whole circumference, the same limit anywhere in the UK. Below that you risk a fine and penalty points for each illegal tyre, and grip and wet braking fall away long before you reach the limit. Any tyre we supply and fit is legal and correctly matched to your vehicle.
