CityGrip provides 24/7 mobile tyre change on the M65, covering J1a to J14 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 M65.
The M65 links Preston to Colne through the old Calder Valley mill towns of Darwen, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, Brierfield and Nelson, built in six separate phases over sixteen years after the original plan to drive it through Blackburn town centre was defeated by the council. Our tyre vans and national network cover the full route, reaching your junction with the equipment to change the wheel or fit a replacement.
M65 mobile tyre FAQs
Do you cover the whole M65 from Preston to Colne?
Yes. We cover the full route from the M6/M61 interchange at Whitebirk near Bamber Bridge to Junction 14 at Colne, including all the Calder Valley towns in between: Darwen, Blackburn, Accrington, Burnley, Brierfield and Nelson.
Why did the M65 take so long to build?
It was built in six separate phases between 1981 and 1997, partly because the original plan to route it through Blackburn town centre was defeated by the local council, forcing a rerouted, more complex alignment around the south of the town.
How much is a mobile tyre change on the M65?
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 J1a M6/M61 Whitebirk on the M65?
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 J1a M6/M61 Whitebirk where it is safe to do so, or recover you towards J6 Whitebirk Blackburn if it is not.
Should I change the tyre myself between J1a M6/M61 Whitebirk and J14 Colne on the M65?
No. Changing a wheel anywhere on the M65, whether that is up by J1a M6/M61 Whitebirk or down towards J14 Colne, 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 M65?
Give us 'M65', the last junction you passed (for example J7 Accrington Hyndburn), 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 M65?
Yes. We change tyres on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials anywhere along the M65, 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 M65?
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-M65 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 J3 Cuerden, can I carry on?
Treat it as a warning that something is wrong. A slow puncture can become a blowout at M65 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 M65?
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.
