Tyres in Larnaca
Before buying tyres in Larnaca, read the code on the sidewall of your current tyre — something like 205/55 R16 91V. That is width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating, and any fitter needs all of it. In Cyprus heat, two things matter more than in cooler climates: correct pressure, because underinflated tyres build heat and fail on long summer drives, and tyre age, because rubber degrades in UV even on a car that barely moves. Check the four-digit DOT week-and-year code — a tyre over about six years old is worth replacing regardless of tread depth.

Common questions
Can a puncture be repaired or must the tyre be replaced?
A puncture in the central tread area, within the repairable zone and under roughly 6 mm, can normally be repaired properly from the inside. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder cannot be safely repaired — that tyre needs replacing, and any fitter who offers to plug a sidewall should be declined.
How do I know when to replace tyres in Cyprus?
Two tests, not one. Tread depth must be above the legal minimum, checked with the wear indicator bars in the grooves. But also check the DOT code for age — Cyprus sun degrades rubber, and a six-year-old tyre with good tread is still worth replacing.
What does mobile tyre service mean?
A fitter comes to your home, workplace or roadside with the tyre and equipment, and fits it there. It is the practical option for a flat that cannot safely be driven to a shop.
