Back at the car in Norton Canes and there is a lump swelling from the sidewall? We tell you straight whether it is roadworthy, and swap it where you parked.
Broken tyres around the toll road are often spotted standing still. A wheel caught on a kerb pulling out of a Tamworth retail park off the A5 may grow a bubble overnight. A cut from glass in a Cannock car park can open to show cords. Drivers stopping at Norton Canes for a coffee sometimes find a split they never felt at speed between T6 and T7, and wonder whether to press on.
Photograph the sidewall wound from a little distance and close up, along with the size code, and send both before we talk. A bulge or visible cords is a firm no for another run through the Great Wyrley booths, and we say it bluntly. The fitter carries a matching tyre to the parked car, swaps and balances it, and removes the damaged one. The fee is set by phone first.
Our Brent Cross team also offers emergency tyre replacement on the M6 Toll, burst tyre replacement on the M6 Toll and emergency mobile tyre fitting.
Where the damage is found is usually where it gets sorted: Norton Canes, a Tamworth retail park, a Lichfield street or a Cannock drive. If a bulge appears while you are still driving the M6 Toll, exit at the next T junction first.

Damaged tyres: drive on it or replace it? →Broken tyre replacement on the M6 Toll page
Drivers who leave the M6 Toll for Bloxwich and Walsall can pull off Bloxwich Road, the B4210, around Dudley Fields. Leamore Enterprise Park is another place with room to stop. Tell us exactly where the vehicle is and what the damage looks like, so the fitter can judge whether the tyre can be saved or must be replaced.
Look carefully at an M6 Toll tyre before trusting it. A sidewall bulge, cord showing through a cut, a split, or a worn flat patch are all reasons to stop, and tread under the legal 1.6 mm across its centre is another. A damaged tyre that holds at town speeds may fail at 70 on the toll road with nobody else about. Kerbs on the A5 roundabouts near Tamworth and Cannock are where a sidewall can take a knock.
