Extra items such as valves, TPMS work, locking wheel-nut removal or disposal may be added. Any change should be explained and agreed with you before the work goes ahead.

Yes, if the tires are the wrong size, damaged, too old or unsafe for your vehicle. The installer should tell you why.

The tire may have a manufacturer warranty against defects, and the installer may offer a workmanship guarantee. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase and fitting.

Usually not if they're fitted and used, unless they're faulty or misdescribed. Check the seller's return policy before fitting.

Contact the installer who did the work first. For a fault in the tire itself, contact the seller.

Slow down and stop somewhere safe as soon as you can. Don't keep driving on a damaged or flat tire — call roadside assistance if you need help.
