Found a bulge or a cut in the sidewall after parking off the M69? You get a plain answer on whether moving it is wise, and the replacement goes on right there.
Motorway debris and the kerbs of busy retail car parks can both leave damage that M69 drivers find once they stop. A lorry strap or a lump of metal kicked up near the M6 end can slice a tread, and a clumsy turn into a bay at Fosse Park can pinch a sidewall into a bulge. Often the car still seems fine until someone notices cord showing when they walk back from the shops.
Send a photo of the damage over WhatsApp on 07473 720871 with the size from the sidewall. A bulge or visible cord means the tyre is finished and the car should stay put; a shallow scuff might be fine, and we say which honestly. When replacement is needed we bring the tyre, swap it in the car park, and confirm the full price on the phone before the van heads north.

Wherever the damage was spotted off the motorway: Fosse Park, Leicester Forest East services a short way up the M1 from J21, a Hinckley car park off the A5, or the business roads at Ansty Park.

Damaged tyres: drive on it or replace it? →Broken tyre replacement on the M69 page
Sidewall cuts and bulges from a pothole are often spotted later, on the school run or outside work. In Nuneaton that might be along Old Hinckley Road, part of the A47, or on Eastboro Way, the A4254, or near Bermuda Park station. Shift the car to a marked bay or a quieter road, then tell us whether the rim looks scuffed or bent as well as the tyre.
Judging whether a damaged M69 tyre can move starts with a torch and a kneel. A sidewall bulge tells you the cords inside have parted. A gash exposing wire or fabric, a split close to the bead from a Hinckley kerb, or a flat skid scar from braking hard near J2 all rule out a return along the M69 to Coventry. Tread under 1.6 mm, the UK car minimum, makes a tyre illegal whatever else is wrong. Hinckley retail park kerbs off the A5 are a hazard too.
