New Nexen Tyres for a Ford Galaxy

With the festive period almost over, this customer had opted to treat herself buy purchasing a full set of Nexen tyres for her Ford Galaxy. After placing the order on our website, the office contacted the customer to confirm the tyre size and fitting address. With the confirmation completed, we ordered the tyres and booked the customer in at the requested time.

After arriving at the customer's location, I inspected all the wheels to note any damage. As the customer was swapping over to a new set of tyres, double checked the wear on the tyres to ensure the alignment did not need doing. After jacking up the vehicle and placing it on jack stands, we removed the wheels and placed them onto our bench in the van. The tyres were then removed and the fresh new 225/50 R17 Nexen NBlues' installed. After the installation, the wheels were re-balanced due to the different weight composition of the Nexen tyres.

Moving on from the balancing, I placed the wheels back onto the vehicle and manually tightened the nuts to the correct torque setting. Most of the time, these settings can be found in the manual however with some specialist vehicles, a quick chat with the local dealer can yield great results! After being tightened, we carefully lowered the vehicle back onto the ground and handed the keys back to the customer. Despite the bitter northern winds, I was kept warm and snug with constant cups of tea. To which I say thank you!
