Bentley tyres and geometry

The name Bentley needs no introduction to car enthusiasts around the world. The very name conjures up thoughts of vehicles with the highest refinement in the world, class leading performance and utmost style, these vehicle need to be carefully looked after.

Why Blackboots and Wheels in Motion and Bentley?

Jacking points on Bentleys, like many sport cars, actually form part of the sill and as such this is an extension of the bodywork. At Blackboots.co.uk and Wheels-inmotion we understand the engineering and positioning of these jacking areas and where the weight has been designed to be distributed when carefully elevating the vehicle. If this is executed in the wrong place, costly bodywork repairs could follow.

Protecting your investment

Congratulations on your forthcoming purchase of tyres for your supercar. However, you need to be mindful about correct geometry and wheel alignment settings (this could be the reason for your inconsistent or premature wear).

Fitting the correct tyres is imperative to the car's performance and splendour but there is a very important requirement needed to complement this, that being the chassis positions (adjusted / corrected by geometry and wheel alignment). It's easy to think "oh now what" but in truth this opportunity to tune the chassis back to the original build positions is an advantage over lesser Marques.

The car manufacturer had the insight to offer an adjustable chassis and from this we can reposition the chassis back to the perfect build positions originally intended, compensating for the accumulated daily trauma experienced from our roads. Surgically calibrated we offer the splendor originally intended handling plus the reassurance that your tyre investment is absolutely secure and the life of your new tyres maximised.
