CityGrip provides 24/7 mobile tyre change on the M8, covering J1 to J29 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 M8.
The M8 through central Glasgow, and especially the Kingston Bridge crossing of the Clyde, is about as unforgiving a place as any in Scotland to get a flat tyre, with nowhere realistic to pull in. Our national network covers the full Edinburgh-to-Langbank route, reaching your junction with the equipment to change the wheel or fit a replacement.
M8 mobile tyre FAQs
Is there anywhere to stop safely on the Kingston Bridge if I get a flat?
Realistically no. The ten-lane Kingston Bridge carries around 150,000 vehicles a day through central Glasgow with no hard shoulder to speak of. Keep moving if the tyre will bear it to the next exit, and if you cannot, stay belted in with hazards on and call 999.
Do you cover the M8 between Glasgow and Edinburgh?
Yes. We cover the full M8 from Junction 1 at Newbridge near Edinburgh to Junction 29 at Craigton near the Erskine Bridge, including the Kingston Bridge and the Baillieston interchange with the M73 and M74.
How much is a mobile tyre change on the M8?
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 Newbridge (Edinburgh) on the M8?
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 Newbridge (Edinburgh) where it is safe to do so, or recover you towards J19 Kingston Bridge if it is not.
Should I change the tyre myself between J1 Newbridge (Edinburgh) and J29 Craigton & Erskine Bridge on the M8?
No. Changing a wheel anywhere on the M8, whether that is up by J1 Newbridge (Edinburgh) or down towards J29 Craigton & Erskine 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 M8?
Give us 'M8', the last junction you passed (for example J19 Kingston Bridge), 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 M8?
Yes. We change tyres on cars, vans, 4x4s and light commercials anywhere along the M8, 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 M8?
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-M8 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 J8 Baillieston (M73 & M74), can I carry on?
Treat it as a warning that something is wrong. A slow puncture can become a blowout at M8 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 M8?
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.
