Sidewall split or bulge after a knock on the M42? Do not drive on it. Get safe and we will bring a replacement to you.
From kerb and pothole damage to sidewall splits, we assess broken tyres on the M42 and repair where it's safe, replace where it isn't, and tell you straight which it is.
Potholes and debris around the NEC and airport traffic around junction 6, the M6 merge at Coleshill and event-day congestion near the arena complex damage plenty of tyres on the M42. We check the wheel as well as the tyre, because a hard impact can knock both out of true.

The M42 curves around the east and south of Birmingham across 11 junctions, tying together the M5, M6 and M40. It serves Solihull, the NEC and Birmingham Airport at junction 6, meets the M6 at junctions 7 and 8 and the M40 at junction 3a, and continues to Tamworth at junction 10. It is a busy orbital route handling airport, exhibition and commuter traffic on the edge of Birmingham.
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 M42 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 M42 to damaged tyre sorted on the spot.
