CityGrip provides 24/7 mobile tyre change on the M61, covering J1 to J9 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 M61.
The M61 links Manchester to Preston past Bolton and Chorley, opening in two phases either side of 1970 and running from the record-breaking 17-lane Worsley Braided Interchange to the exposed high ground below the Winter Hill TV mast. Our tyre vans and national network cover the full route, reaching your junction with the equipment to change the wheel or fit a replacement.
M61 mobile tyre FAQs
Is the Worsley Braided Interchange on the M61 complicated?
Yes. Junction 1 holds a Guinness World Record for the most traffic lanes running side by side, 17 across eight nearly parallel carriageways in a basketweave design, and it catches out drivers unfamiliar with the layout. Give us your direction of travel and the last sign you passed so we can find you.
Is the M61 near Winter Hill exposed to bad weather?
Yes. The stretch near Bolton West services and Junction 6 sits below the Winter Hill TV mast, the highest point of the West Pennine Moors at 456 metres, where conditions can be far worse than in Bolton or Chorley a few miles away.
How much is a mobile tyre change on the M61?
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 Worsley Braided Interchange M60 on the M61?
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 Worsley Braided Interchange M60 where it is safe to do so, or recover you towards J4 Westhoughton if it is not.
Should I change the tyre myself between J1 Worsley Braided Interchange M60 and J9 M6 Bamber Bridge on the M61?
No. Changing a wheel anywhere on the M61, whether that is up by J1 Worsley Braided Interchange M60 or down towards J9 M6 Bamber Bridge, 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 M61?
Give us 'M61', the last junction you passed (for example J5 Horwich Rivington), 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 M61?
Yes. We change tyres on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials anywhere along the M61, 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 M61?
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-M61 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 Walkden, can I carry on?
Treat it as a warning that something is wrong. A slow puncture can become a blowout at M61 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 M61?
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.
