Hit debris or a pothole on the M40? We come to you, check the tyre and wheel and sort a repair or replacement.
A bulge, deep cut or exposed cord means the tyre is unsafe and illegal, whatever the tread looks like. We show you what we find on the M40 and fit a replacement so you are not driving on a tyre that could let go.
Potholes and debris around the climb and descent at junction 5 Stokenchurch, the Oxford services and the merge with the M42 and A46 at the Warwickshire end damage plenty of tyres on the M40. We check the wheel as well as the tyre, because a hard impact can knock both out of true.

The M40 links London and Birmingham across 89 miles and 16 junctions, climbing the Chilterns at the Stokenchurch gap. It passes Beaconsfield at junction 2, High Wycombe at 4, Oxford at 8, Bicester at 9, Banbury at 11 and Warwick and Leamington Spa at 12 to 15 before meeting the M42 near Solihull at junction 16. It is a fast inter-city motorway carrying London-to-Midlands business and commuter traffic, with long rural stretches between junctions.
Wherever you've stopped along it, we assess the damage at the roadside and sort a repair or replacement, rather than have you drive on a tyre that could fail.
We reach the M40 from the towns all along it. Pick the stretch nearest you:
If the tyre is damaged but still holding air, slow down and come off at the next junction. If it's deflating fast, treat it like a blowout and stop somewhere safe straight away.
Reach an emergency area, the hard shoulder or the next exit if you safely can, and put your hazards on.
Leave the vehicle on the passenger side and wait well back. In a live lane, call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.
Once you are safe, call and we will come to you on the M40 to damaged tyre sorted on the spot.
