on the M40.
When a tyre bursts on the M40 the tyre itself is finished. At motorway speed the sidewall flexes violently, the internal casing tears and the tread can come apart, and none of that can be patched safely. A genuine blowout needs a replacement, not a repair, so we come to M40 with a new tyre and fit it where you have stopped.
The seconds after a burst are what matter most. Lift off the accelerator smoothly, keep both hands on the wheel and let the car slow of its own accord. Heavy braking or a sharp swerve can send it out of line, so hold your course, ease onto the hard shoulder or an emergency refuge area, and put your hazards on.
When you are off the live carriageway and behind the barrier, call us with your location and direction on M40 and the tyre size if you can read it. We run 24-hour callouts every day, bring the tyre and the tools to you, and ask for no payment up front: you pay once the new tyre is fitted. No tow, no garage.

About the M40
The road we cover.
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 bring a replacement to you and check the wheel, rather than have you risk the rim on a shredded tyre.

M40 FAQs
Burst Tyre Replacement on the M40, answered.
Does a burst tyre on the M40 mean my car has to be towed?
In most cases, no. We fit the replacement at the roadside, so once you are safely off the live carriageway your car stays where it is and drives away on the new tyre. We only arrange recovery if you are stranded somewhere with no safe hard shoulder or refuge to work in, and even then only to reach a safer point.
The tyre went with a bang at motorway speed. Could I have done anything differently?
A blowout usually gives no warning, so it is rarely about what you did beforehand. What counts is the response: easing off the accelerator, keeping a firm grip on the wheel and letting the car slow rather than braking hard or swerving. Reaching the hard shoulder or an emergency area under control is exactly the right thing to do.
Can a burst tyre be patched to get me home?
No. A patch is for a small puncture in the tread, not for a tyre whose sidewall and casing have been torn open in a blowout. Driving on it, even a short way, would not be safe. When we reach you on M40 we fit a proper replacement so the car is sound for the journey on.
How do I help you find me on M40?
Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction number or marker post, along with anything you can see nearby. That lets us pinpoint you and send the closest van quickly. If you can safely read the tyre size off the sidewall, tell us that too, so we arrive with the right replacement.
What are your hours and how much is the callout?
We run 24-hour callouts every day, so there is always cover on the motorway. The callout is included in the job rather than charged separately. There is no charge to book and nothing up front: you pay once the new tyre is fitted, and we confirm the full price for the tyre and fitting before we set off.
