Busy Friday Tyre Fitting at Pellon Tyres – Nissan Qashqai Gets a Fresh RoadX Tyre

It was another busy Friday morning here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax, West Yorkshire — the kind of day when the coffee pot never cools down and the ramps are full before nine o’clock!

One of the first cars to roll into the workshop was a Nissan Qashqai booked in for a free tyre check. The customer, a regular from nearby Sowerby Bridge, mentioned that the car felt a bit off when cornering. We’re always happy to offer a free inspection because it gives peace of mind, especially before the colder weather sets in.

Adam, one of our skilled tyre fitters, got straight to work. After checking all four tyres for tread depth, wear patterns, and pressure, he found that three tyres were in decent shape, but one had worn unevenly — likely caused by a pothole knock, which we all know are far too common around Halifax and Calderdale’s bumpy roads!

Fitting a Quality Economy Tyre – The RoadX RX Quest

To match the tyre on the opposite axle, Adam fitted a 215/60R17 96Y RoadX RX Quest. This particular brand of tyre has become a real favourite here at Pellon Autocentre. It’s an economy tyre, yes, but it offers surprisingly good grip, low road noise, and smooth handling — all at a sensible price.

We’ve fitted loads of RoadX tyres over the past few years, and the customer feedback has been brilliant. They hold up well in all weather conditions — rain, shine, or even the odd Halifax snow flurry. Many customers comment that they can’t tell the difference from more expensive mid-range brands, which says a lot.

After fitting the new tyre, Adam carried out a wheel alignment to make sure everything was tracking straight. It’s something we always recommend when new tyres are fitted, as poor alignment is one of the main reasons tyres wear out too early. Plus, it keeps the car safer and more fuel-efficient—which nobody’s complaining about these days!

A Bit of History – The Nissan Qashqai and Its British Roots: nissan-qashqai-roadx-tyres-halifax

The Nissan Qashqai is one of Britain’s best-loved family cars—and with good reason. Launched back in 2006, it was designed to bridge the gap between a family hatchback and a rugged SUV. Nissan hit the jackpot with that idea, because the Qashqai quickly became one of the UK’s bestsellers.

What makes it even better is that it’s built right here in the UK, at the Sunderland plant, one of the most efficient car factories in Europe. So, while the name might sound a bit exotic — taken from a nomadic tribe in Iran, believe it or not — the Qashqai is as British as Yorkshire tea when you think about it.

It’s a car that’s perfect for the twisty, hilly roads of West Yorkshire — plenty of room for the family, great visibility, and comfortable suspension for tackling the cobbled backstreets of Halifax or the windy roads up towards Queensbury and Ogden.

You’ll see plenty of them around here — school runs in Illingworth, supermarket trips in Brighouse, and weekend getaways across the Pennines. No wonder they’re a common sight at our garage — and we’ve got just the tyres to suit them.

RoadX tyres are made by the Sailun Group, one of the top ten tyre manufacturers in the world. They’ve invested heavily in research and development to create tyres that combine modern tread design with affordable pricing.

The RX Quest range fitted to this Qashqai is designed for crossovers and SUVs — offering a comfortable ride and solid wet-weather performance. The tread pattern helps reduce road noise while maintaining a firm grip on wet and dry surfaces.

We’ve fitted RoadX tyres on everything from small city cars like the Ford Fiesta to larger vehicles such as Volvo XC60s and Toyota RAV4s, and they’ve stood up well in both performance and durability. They’re ideal for Halifax drivers who want safety, reliability, and value for money without breaking the bank.

Local Driving in Halifax – Tyres That Can Cope: nissan-qashqai-roadx-tyres-halifax

Anyone who’s driven round Halifax will know our roads aren’t always kind to tyres. Between the potholes, steep hills, and sharp bends, your tyres take a fair bit of punishment.

That’s why we always say to our customers: don’t just look at price — think about performance and how you drive. A well-fitted, balanced, and aligned tyre can save you money in the long run, keeping your car safe and efficient all year round.
