Picking new tyres for a car that lives at Oxfordshire's highest town is worth a proper conversation. Tell us the sidewall size and we bring your choice to a drive in Over Norton.
Tyres around Chipping Norton do a hard mix of work. The A44 climbs over exposed ground towards Moreton-in-Marsh and ices before the valleys do, the A361 to Banbury is busy and bumpy, and the tracks towards Great Tew and Hook Norton are loose underfoot. A driver doing school and farm runs from Enstone needs something different from a commuter heading to Charlbury station each morning, so the right tyre is a matter of how the car is used.
Find the code on the sidewall, for example 215/60 R16 99H, and tell us whether winter grip, long wear or quiet running matters most. You hear a value, a mid-range and a premium option in that size, and the one you choose is priced on the call. On your OX7 drive the fitter fits it, balances the wheel, tightens each nut to torque and takes the old tyre away.
Chipping Norton has no permit parking, so a driveway on the Banbury Road side, a Churchill farm yard or a quiet kerb near Bliss Mill all work. The Albion Street car park suits a fit with a ticket displayed.

The sidewall tells you most of what an OX7 order needs. Beyond the size sit the load index and speed letter, perhaps 99H; XL marks a reinforced tyre and RFT or a similar badge a run-flat. On a pickup or 4x4 used around Great Tew, check whether the tyres are all-terrain, and keep the axle pair matched. Say where the locking key lives. The car is best left on a farm yard or drive in Churchill or Over Norton, where no permit parking applies.
Lift the boot floor of a Chipping Norton car, find no spare wheel, and the tyres are probably run-flats. Confirm it on the sidewall, where a code like ZP, ROF, SSR or RFT appears near the size. Makers often rule out repairing one that was kept rolling while deflated on the A44 or A361, so a matching run-flat is sourced for your OX7 drive.
Choose your tyres, give us the size, and they are fitted at your Chipping Norton address.
