Originally established in 1991 in London, Tyres Direct’s sustainable philosophy is to support British retreading , from both commercial and environmental aspects, by offering best quality retreaded tyres for direct sale to UK consumers and also by the supply of post consumer tyres to British retread factories.
We have chosen as our leading retread partner C-Tyres Limited who, in our opinion, manufacture the best quality retread products we can buy; under the Colway brand name.
We offer for sale a full range of Colway retreads, on a next day or three day facility, utilising the national mail order delivery service of Tuffnells Limited.
We will delight you with C-Tyres products, as we believe the Colway brand today offers best value products at the most affordable prices.
About Colway Tyres
Manufactured to British Standards and carrying the European 'E' mark signifying that the production process has been approved and is subject to regular examination, Colway tyres are available in sizes to suit almost all vehicles, including ultra-low profile W (170 mph/ 270 kph) rated tyres. Tyre testing to E108 and E109 requirements is carried out to the same exacting standards as original equipment new tyres.
The Colway C-Trax range of tyres for 4x4 vehicles now offers five different tread patterns and over 40 sizes.
Many Colway products carry the company's Lifetime Guarantee, which offers to replace a tyre if it is found to suffer from a manufacturing fault or accidental damage whatever the mileage.
Colway has recently introduced Formula Fleet - offering reduced operating costs for both individual and business users - and has expanded its' range of heavy commercial tyres.
The Colway Major Heavy Truck and Tip-A-Way ranges provide the operator with a choice of product suitable for both commercial highway use and for on/off road activity, such as landfill sites or quarry work.
Although the biggest possible endorsement comes from C-Tyres own customers - such as National Tyres and Accessories, ATS Euromaster and Kwik-Fit - the company also proves its product in the world of motor sport. Colway tyres have been winning in rallying for over a decade, and the brand is currently the 'control' tyre for the Lodge Sports Porsche 924 Racing Championship.

THE BEST RETREAD EVER MADE
C-Tyres Ltd is the UK's leading comprehensive retread manufacturer. Utilising state of the art manufacturing techniques, we produce high quality, high value tyres for passenger cars, taxis, 4x4 vehicles, light and heavy commercials and, for motor sport, under the Colway brand name. With over 35 years experience in retread production, our factory in Durham, North East England has established a reputation for quality.
All of our tyres are manufactured to European standards and they all carry the European 'E' mark, signifying that the production process has been approved and is subject to regular examination. Colway tyres are available in sizes to suit almost all vehicles and our tyres are tested to E108 and E109 requirements, undergoing the same level of testing that a new equipment tyre must go through.
We are a market leader when it comes to new product innovation and environmental issues. As we move into an age where saving the environment is becoming a daily necessity, C-Tyres are leading the way when it comes to “being green”, by working closely with IWS to turn any scrap from the production process into carpet underlay.
We have also launched several new products over recent months, with new sizes being introduced to the 4x4 and heavy truck range, as well as the impressive development of our Colway runflat retread.
C-Tyres are the sole manufacturer of Colway and Greenway retread tyres and produce tyres over a vast range of sizes to fit practically any major car, van, 4x4, light or heavy truck. Our tyres are manufactured in the North East and are distributed nationally and internationally.
All C-Tyres’ products adhere to strict European Standards and Specifications that are now mandatory for retread tyre production. Colway tyres are produced using only premium quality equipment casings and undergo strict quality control checks to ensure complete structural integrity, whilst trading at a fraction of the price of a original equipment tyre
Apart from the safety benefits a Colway retread provides, there is another attribute that make Colway the perfect choice. As we move into an age where saving the planet and recycling is of paramount importance, it becomes essential that we all be aware of what we can individually contribute towards this goal. As the making of each Colway retread, in comparison to a newly formed tyre, saves approximately 22 litres of crude oil in its production, it becomes vividly clear how much contribution we are making in selecting a retread tyre for our conveyance.
Today, the need to be more responsible towards the environment has never been greater and, in recognition of the commitment and endeavour that C-Tyres has achieved in producing such a product, the company was awarded the Environment Award at the recently held NTDA TAFF Industry Awards.
We at C-Tyres strongly believe that there is always a place in the market for a quality, affordable and environmentally friendly tyre and Colway Retreads deliver on all of those aspects.
Many Colway products carry the company's Lifetime Guarantee, which offers to replace a tyre if it is found to suffer from a manufacturing fault or accidental damage whatever the mileage.
