Spotted a bulge in the sidewall at Hilton Park, or a split after a kerb in a Wednesbury retail park? Whether it can move gets an honest answer, and the replacement is fitted in that very bay.
M6 tyre damage often shows itself once the engine is off. Potholes on the routes into Erdington and Aston raise sidewall bubbles, debris on the Black Country section cuts into the tread, and kerbs in busy retail parks at Great Barr and Wednesbury split low-profile tyres. A driver walking back to the car at Corley or Hilton Park may see cords poking through. None of that is repairable, and a smart motorway is the last place to find out how long a bulge lasts.
Photograph the damage and the sidewall markings and message them over. The verdict is honest: with a bulge, a deep split or bare cord, the car stays put. Because the van travels up from Brent Cross, the right tyre is sourced before leaving. The damaged tyre is exchanged for a balanced new one, and the wheel checked over for kerb scrapes. Price, including the trip north, is fixed on the phone.

Damaged tyres: drive on it or replace it? →Broken tyre replacement on the M6 page
Clipped a kerb and split a tyre after leaving at J7? Walsall Road carries the A34 between Great Barr and Perry Barr, and side streets near Perry Barr station or Hamstead station are better places to stop than the main road. Tell us which tyre is damaged, the size if you can read it, and whether the car is still on four wheels or sitting on the rim.
Deciding whether a tyre is still roadworthy starts with a close look. Any bulge, a cut that lets threads or wire show, a sidewall split or a flat spot rules it out, as does tread under the legal minimum. On a smart motorway such a tyre is especially risky, since heat at speed can finish it with nowhere to pull over. Kerbs in the Cannock retail parks off J11 are a common cause of the damage drivers find.
