Keeping Things Straight in Halifax – Runway Tyres and a Spot-On Wheel Alignment
It was another brisk morning here at Pellon Tyres in Halifax, and as usual, the kettle was on before the first car rolled in. The early bird this time was a tidy-looking Hyundai, driven by a local customer who’d booked in for a pair of new Runway economy tyres.
Now, we always say that tyres are a car’s only contact with the road — and in a place like Calderdale, with our hilly roads, tight bends, and changeable Yorkshire weather, it’s not something to take lightly. You can really feel the difference in grip when you’re heading up towards Mount Tabor or down Skircoat Road on a wet morning.
Choosing the Right Tyres for Everyday Driving: Hyundai for Runway Tyres
Runway tyres are what we call a good, solid economy choice. They’re great for drivers who want reliability without paying premium prices, and we fit plenty of them here at Pellon Tyres. Runway is a brand that’s been gaining respect for producing well-balanced tyres that perform well in both dry and wet conditions. Perfect for everyday town driving around Halifax — from popping into King Cross to heading out towards Sowerby Bridge or even a trip over the hill to Denholme.
When it comes to choosing new tyres, we always advise thinking about your driving style and how far you travel. For this Hyundai, the customer mainly used it for daily commuting and family runs, so the Runway Enduro 816 (a popular economy option) was ideal. It offers decent tread life, quiet running, and importantly, value for money — something we know matters to most of our Calderdale customers.
The Importance of Wheel Alignment: Hyundai for Runway Tyres
Now, once the new tyres were fitted and torqued up properly, the next step was a wheel alignment check. This is one of those jobs that some drivers overlook, but it makes a huge difference to how your car handles and how long your tyres last.
You’d be surprised how many cars we see in Halifax with uneven tyre wear simply because the tracking is out. It doesn’t take much—one solid bump against a pothole on Pellon Lane or clipping a kerb outside Boothtown can knock your wheels slightly off alignment. Over time, that means your tyres start to wear on one edge, your fuel economy drops, and in some cases, the car can even feel like it’s drifting to one side.
At Pellon Tyre and Autocentre, we use modern laser alignment equipment to make sure everything’s set just right. It’s not just about making the wheels look straight — we measure and adjust the angles precisely to match the manufacturer’s settings. On this Hyundai, it turned out the front tracking was slightly toeing out, which would’ve caused premature wear on the new Runways if left unchecked. A few adjustments later and everything was back in perfect line.
Driving Smoothly and Truly Around Halifax
Once the job was done, the Hyundai drove out of the workshop feeling smoother, steadier, and ready for the road. It’s always satisfying seeing a happy customer drive away knowing their car’s running safely and efficiently.
It’s something we take pride in at Pellon Tyres — making sure that whether someone’s fitting a single budget tyre or a full set of premium ones, the car leaves in better condition than when it came in.
Wheel alignment is one of those little extras that really pays for itself over time. Not only do you save money on fuel and tyres, but your car simply feels better to drive. Around the bends of Savile Park or on the twisty roads heading up towards Hebden Bridge, that stability gives you real confidence behind the wheel.
So if you’ve recently had new tyres fitted — or even if it’s been a while since your last check — it’s well worth popping in for an alignment inspection. We’ll give you a proper Yorkshire welcome, check everything over, and keep your car running straight and true, just as it should.

A Little Bit of Halifax Motoring History
It’s funny when you think how far motoring in Halifax has come over the years. Back in the early days, when cars first appeared around the Calder Valley, most of the local roads were cobbled and steep — not the smooth tarmac we take for granted now. Drivers had to tackle those winding climbs up Gibbett Street and Shibden Bank with nothing more than a few horsepower and plenty of nerve!
In fact, Halifax once had its own proud motor heritage. The Lister company, based right here in town, was well known for building high-performance sports cars that competed against the likes of Jaguar in the 1950s and ’60s. The Lister Knobbly became a racing legend, flying the flag for Halifax engineering at circuits all over Britain and beyond.
It’s that same spirit of local pride and mechanical know-how that keeps workshops like ours ticking. Whether it’s fitting tyres, servicing cars, or sorting out a tricky wheel alignment, we like to think we’re carrying on that Halifax engineering tradition — helping local folk stay safe and steady on the roads of Calderdale.
