Sona Tyres, Unit B, 1200 Coventry Road, Birmingham B25 8DA. Availability and suitability must be confirmed by phone and inspection.

What to have ready when you call

  • Your current tyre’s full sidewall size, such as 205/55 R16, plus its load index and speed symbol. How to read a tyre size.
  • Your vehicle make and model, and whether the tyre is for the front or rear axle. Some cars need different front and rear sizes or manufacturer-specific markings.
  • Whether you need a summer, winter or all-season tyre and whether the vehicle has a run-flat or other special requirement.

Part-worn tyre safety checks

Part-worn tyres must meet UK supply rules; being used does not remove the need for inspection. Before fitting, check:

  • Tread: the original tread grooves must be at least 2 mm deep across the full breadth of the tread and around the whole circumference when supplied as part-worn. This is a supply requirement, not a promise of remaining life. For cars and light vans on the road, the Highway Code states a separate minimum of 1.6 mm across the central three-quarters and around the entire circumference.
  • Markings: non-retreaded part-worn tyres must carry the relevant approval marking, load and speed markings, and a permanent, legible “PART-WORN” mark beside the approval mark.
  • Condition: no exposed cords, structural bulges or tears; the casing, inside and outside, should be checked for damage and any previous repair assessed for compliance.
  • Your vehicle: the size, load and speed ratings must meet its requirements. Ask about tyre age, prior repairs, measured tread and the fitted price before agreeing to buy.

Part-worn tyres: common questions

Can I see sizes or prices online?

Not at the moment. Stock, tread depth and price vary from tyre to tyre. Call 0121 389 4396 for current options and a quote.

Is a part-worn tyre right for my car?

It depends on your vehicle’s approved specification, the tyre’s condition and remaining tread. We’ll check suitability before fitting; a matching size alone is not enough.

Can a previously repaired tyre be sold part-worn?

Only if the repair and markings meet applicable requirements and the tyre passes inspection. If you have a puncture in your existing tyre, see how we assess tyre repairs.
