# Tam Tyres: Gateshead & Newcastle

Tam Tyres is an established tyre retailer serving Newcastle, Gateshead and the wider North East. Based on Wellington Road in Gateshead, they specialise in supplying and fitting car, van, 4x4 and high-performance tyres from major brands including Pirelli, Michelin, Dunlop, Continental, Firestone and Goodyear, alongside quality economy options.

What sets Tam Tyres apart is their commitment to extending tyre life through advanced balancing technology. They utilise Hunter Smart Weight balancers with laser positioning to reduce wheel weight and increase longevity by up to 40%, and are among the few North East operators with a Hunter Road Force balancer—a rolling road machine that applies 1,200-1,400 pounds of pressure to simulate real driving conditions and achieve ultra-precise balance every time.

All tyres are filled with nitrogen rather than compressed air, preventing moisture accumulation, internal wheel corrosion and bead seal failure whilst enabling tyres to run cooler and last up to 50% longer. This dual approach to tyre preservation demonstrates their expertise beyond simple sales.

The business prides itself on competitive pricing with all quotes fully inclusive and fitted. They fit tyres whilst you wait and offer a car collection and return service. Recent expansion into their Dunston depot now includes fast-fit servicing, brake work (discs, pads, shoes), exhaust systems and light repairs, positioning them as a comprehensive vehicle maintenance provider rather than a tyre-only specialist.
