BMW 118i Receives Award-Winning Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 Tyres at Pellon Tyres, Halifax
One of the things I have always enjoyed about running Pellon Tyres is that no two days are ever quite the same.
While Ethan was busy carrying out a major air conditioning repair on a Ford Fiesta, another interesting job landed in the capable hands of Adam, our longest-serving tyre fitter. Adam has now been with us for well over 30 years, and during that time he has fitted many thousands of tyres to everything from tiny city cars to high-performance sports cars.
His latest customer arrived in a smart BMW 118i looking for a particular tyre that had caught his eye after reading some excellent reviews.
He had already done his homework.
The tyre he wanted was the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 in size 225/40R18 92Y, one of the latest additions to Pirelli’s award-winning range.
As an independent tyre specialist, we were more than happy to supply exactly what the customer wanted.
The Advantage of Using an Independent Tyre Dealer
One of the biggest advantages of visiting an independent garage like Pellon Tyres in Halifax is that we are not tied to one particular tyre manufacturer.
Unlike some national chains or franchised dealers, we don’t have sales targets for one brand over another.
That means our advice is based on what suits the customer, the vehicle and the budget.
Some motorists prefer Michelin.
Others ask for Continental.
Many remain loyal to Goodyear or Bridgestone.
Increasingly, however, motorists are discovering just how good the latest generation of Pirelli tyres has become.
If that’s the tyre a customer wants, we’ll source it at the right price and fit it professionally.
That’s the freedom of being independent.
The BMW 118i: BMW 118i Award-Winning Pirelli
The BMW 118i has been a familiar sight on British roads for many years and remains one of BMW’s most popular models.
Although it sits at the smaller end of the BMW range, it certainly doesn’t feel like a small car from behind the wheel.
The latest models offer the following:
- Sharp steering.
- Excellent road holding.
- Comfortable motorway cruising.
- Modern safety technology.
- Impressive fuel economy.
Whether driving around Halifax town centre or heading across the Pennines towards Leeds or Manchester, the 118i offers an enjoyable balance of comfort and sporty handling.
Naturally, a car with this level of engineering deserves tyres capable of matching its performance.
Why Choose the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3?
The customer had read that the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 had been receiving excellent independent test results.
He wasn’t wrong.
The SF3 has been widely praised by independent tyre testers for its all-round performance, particularly in Britain’s unpredictable weather. It has earned recognition for its braking performance, wet-weather grip and balanced handling across a wide range of conditions.
That’s exactly what many Yorkshire motorists are looking for.
One day we’re driving home in bright sunshine.
The next day we’re climbing over Blackstone Edge in heavy rain.
Then winter arrives with frost and perhaps a dusting of snow.
Instead of changing between summer and winter tyres, many drivers now prefer a quality all-season tyre.
Ready for Every Yorkshire Season: BMW 118i Award-Winning Pirelli
The latest all-season tyres are a world away from the compromises of years gone by.
The Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 has been developed to offer excellent performance throughout the year.
It provides:
- Excellent wet grip.
- Short braking distances.
- Low rolling resistance.
- Quiet running.
- Strong mileage.
- Winter capability carrying the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol.
For many motorists around Halifax, Calderdale and West Yorkshire, it really is an ideal solution.
Professional Fitting Matters
As always, Adam carefully removed the old tyres before fitting the new Pirellis using our modern tyre-changing equipment.
Correct fitting is every bit as important as choosing the right tyre.
Tyres must be mounted correctly, inflated to the correct pressures and balanced accurately.
Only then can they perform as the manufacturer intended.
With over three decades of experience, Adam has developed an eye for detail that only comes with years in the trade.
Finishing with Wheel Alignment: BMW 118i Award-Winning Pirelli
Once the tyres had been fitted, the customer wisely chose to have the wheel alignment checked.
This is something we always recommend whenever new tyres are fitted.
Even slight misalignment can lead to:
- Uneven tyre wear.
- Reduced fuel economy.
- Steering pull.
- Less precise handling.
Our computerised alignment equipment quickly confirmed the adjustments required.
Within a short time, the BMW was tracking perfectly once again.
That means the customer can now enjoy the full benefits of his new tyres while helping them achieve their maximum lifespan.
Looking After Your Investment
Premium tyres represent an investment in your vehicle’s safety and performance.
Looking after them is simply common sense.
Correct tyre pressures.
Regular wheel alignment checks.
Routine tyre inspections.
These simple measures can add thousands of miles to the life of a quality tyre.
Another Happy Pellon Tyres Customer: BMW 118i Award-Winning Pirelli
The BMW left our Halifax depot with four superb Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 tyres fitted, the wheel alignment correctly adjusted and one very satisfied owner.
It’s another reminder that choosing the right tyre isn’t simply about price.
It’s about finding the tyre that best suits your driving, your vehicle and our ever-changing Yorkshire weather.
Here at Pellon Tyres, that’s exactly what we have been helping local motorists do for well over 35 years.
Whether you drive a BMW, Ford, Hyundai, Volkswagen or any other make, we’ll always recommend the tyre that’s right for you—not the one someone tells us to sell.
After all, that’s one of the greatest advantages of being an independent tyre specialist.
