Here at Mike Wood Tyres we offer a FREE brake check – so STOP off to ensure you can STOP when it counts!

‘V’ registration vehicles onwards require brake products that meet Regulation 90 approval. Mike Wood Tyres supply & fit components from Delphi Lockheed Automotive Ltd. Delphi is a world-leading supplier of automotive technologies and service solutions that meet R90 requirements.

We are also able to supply and fit shock absorbers please click to whiz down the page for further information.

Our Brake Safety Check includes the following:

• Brake Efficiency Test
  
• Brake Fluid Boiling Point test with free top up if necessary.
  
• Brake Disc Thickness
  
• Brake Pad Thickness – visual inspection
  
• Brake Caliper operation check
  
• Visual inspection of all brake hoses
  
• Handbrake Test

• Extensive range of 1025 brake pads
  
• All pads and shoes have OE derived friction materials and specifications
  
• Meet all current European legislative requirements - Fully R90 compliant
  
• Each pad is manufactured on state of the art machinery to maintain the high level of quality and excellent performance customers expect from a safety critical product
  
• The range is manufactured on 5 production lines using different friction materials to meet requirements of all the vehicle applications that exist
  
• All friction materials are:
  
  
  • Low noise – Compounds are engineered to reduce amount of noise fixes or slotting required
    
  • Low dust – Compounds are engineered to be environmentally friendly ie no heavy metals, copper, chromes etc and do not blacken alloy wheels
    
  • Easy to bed – Compounds are engineered to bed in rapidly, therefore less need to chamfer pads. This maximises the friction area to disc surface and improves braking performance.

• Established & respected brand name
  
• UK Market leader – No 1 brand on discs.
  
• Delphi only sell in pairs – to promote good practice
  
• Premium quality castings and machining used to ensure a maximum manufactured run-out of 0.001mm
  
• Each disc is manufactured with the following engineering quality features:
  
  
  • Top quality disc surface finish – ensures excellent braking from new
    
  • Heat Dissipation Groove – between mounting face & friction surfaces, eliminates disc distortion and aids cooling of disc surfaces
    
  • Hole Centering – highly accurate hole diameters and positioning
    
  • Balance – tight tolerances during design & production of tooling ensure balanced discs
    
  • Parallelism – simultaneous machining of both disc surfaces ensures parallel friction faces
    
  • Edge marking – full traceability
