Grande Tyres Ltd is an established independent tyre specialist and autocentre located in Whickham, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Founded in 1999, the company originally operated as a plant tyre specialist for the Northern division of Tyrefix UK before expanding in 2011 to its current premises, “The Tyre Depot,” at the Whickham Industrial Estate. This relocation allowed the business to open the Grande Tyres Fastfix Centre, broadening its expertise from heavy plant machinery and tractors to serving the general public with car, van, and 4×4 services.
As a local family firm, Grande Tyres provides a comprehensive range of maintenance services including puncture repairs, wheel alignment, battery replacements, and exhaust systems. They maintain a diverse inventory of tyres from budget brands to premium manufacturers like Pirelli, Continental, and Michelin, with Kumho serving as their primary mid-range house brand. The center prides itself on being a “female-friendly” environment and operates an online booking system that allows customers to reserve tyres and schedule appointments without the need for upfront payment.
