Tam Tyres
At TAM Tyres Dunston we balance every tyre we fit on one of our Hunter Smart Weight balancer's, these balancer's offer precise laser positioning using less weight on the wheel which in turn can result in up to 40% longer tyre life.

Also at TAM Tyre's we own one of only a handful of Hunters Road Force balancers in the North East also knowing as a Rolling Road wheel balance this machine applies between 1,200 to 1,400 pounds of pressure to simulate the weight of the vehicle as it rolls down the road looking for any high spots or heavy spots on the tyre while also looking for the light part of the wheel while also measuring static and dynamic balance, giving an ultra precise balance every time.
Services
We are a North East based Tyre company, supplying Tyres in Newcastle, Gateshead & the North East for Cars, Vans, Caravans and Motorbikes. We have an office & factory in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear and also sell online to the trade and general public. By calling us on 0191 460 4809 and one of our team will run through the application with you.
The current legal limit is 1.6mm tread over the central 3/4 of the tyre in a continuous band, around the entire circumference of the tyre. RoSPA recommends tyre replacement at 3mm - your tyre is approximately 78% worn. Using our diagram below we can demonstrate that a tyre has a unique code printed onto the outer surface, mainly made up of 3 sets of numbers.
We currently have a job vacancy for an experienced tyre fitter/technician for a busy independent tyre depot based in Gateshead, the successful applicant must have tyre fitting experience and a driving licence as the role includes mobile tyre fitting, good customer service is essential, experience in wheel alignment is an advantage.

I contacted Tam Tyres this morning (Christmas Eve). They sourced a tyre and came out to fit it within 90 mins of my call. First class service and competitively priced, thank you. Highly recommend and would use again.

Fake reviews! I went to them based on reviews but found completely the opposite. I changed one tyre and did 4 wheels tracking, they started with the rear and snapped the rear right camber stud! The worst thing is that they left it as it is and they refused to offer any replacement or compensation!
As soon as I left the garage I heard metals scratching strongly in the rear left wheel that make the car barely driveable, I called them and they said "we are very busy, call us later" I called again and they denied and hanged the line!!!
It was obvious that they were training on customer's cars on
