Emergency Tyre Replacement · A5

Emergency tyre replacement at the roadside
on the A5.

A tyre that has failed for good on the A5 is not something to nurse to the next services. A split sidewall, a large hole or a casing driven flat has lost its strength, and driving on it risks a blowout in the lanes. Rescue Tyres brings a new tyre out to you and fits it where you have stopped, so you rejoin the A-road on a tyre that can take the speed.

Your first job is to get off the carriageway. Coast into an emergency refuge area, onto the hard shoulder or off at the next junction if you can reach it, put your hazards on and wait well away from the traffic. Then call and give us your direction of travel and the nearest marker post or junction so we can find you fast on the A5.

We come with the tyre, not just to look at it. Common car and van sizes ride on the van and most others are sourced quickly, then the fitter mounts the new tyre, balances it and torques it to spec at the roadside. Enquiries are free and take about two minutes, we call you back to confirm the full price before we leave, you pay nothing up front and settle once the tyre is fitted, and callouts run around the clock.

  • Off the carriageway first: refuge area, hard shoulder or next junction, hazards on, stand clear
  • New tyre brought to A5: sourced and fitted where you stopped, no recovery needed
  • Replaced, not bodged: split sidewalls, oversized holes, shredded and run-flat tyres
  • Nothing up front, pay after fitting: price agreed up front, 24-hour callouts, around the hour

About the A5

The road we cover.

The A5 follows the old Watling Street from London towards Holyhead, much of it fast dual carriageway across our patch. It passes Dunstable and Houghton Regis, skirts Milton Keynes and Bletchley and runs on through Atherstone, Tamworth and Cannock. It is a historic trunk road carrying steady commuter and freight traffic.

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.

Stay safe first

Broken down on the A5?

A blowout can pull the car off line. Grip the wheel firmly, ease off the throttle, avoid braking hard, and steer gently onto the hard shoulder or an emergency area.

"Life saver. Sudden puncture, hard-to-find tyre. They got back to me within 10 minutes and did a mobile tyre change."

"Outstanding service. From the moment I called to driving away with the tyre repaired was less than an hour, at 7pm on a Sunday while stranded on the M25."

"I had a flat tyre off the A40 and they sorted me out. The mobile van was quick to arrive and had the tyre swapped out within 20 minutes."

A5 FAQs

Emergency Tyre Replacement on the A5, answered.

Why can't my tyre just be repaired on the A5?
A patch only holds when the damage is small and central and the tyre kept its pressure. A split or bulging sidewall, a hole wider than 6mm, or a tyre that has been driven on flat all weaken the casing beyond a safe mend. In those cases we fit a new tyre at the roadside rather than send you back onto the A5 on one that could let go.
Can you fit a brand new tyre at the roadside on the A5?
Yes, once you are parked somewhere safe. We take the wheel off, fit the new tyre to the rim, balance it and torque it back on where your vehicle sits. There is no need for recovery to a workshop, so you are usually moving again in one visit.
Do you have my tyre size, or do you bring it out to A5?
We load common car and van sizes before we set off and can source most others at short notice. Read us the size printed on the sidewall, something like 205/55 R16, and we bring the right tyre out to A5 so nothing holds up the fitting.
How much does emergency tyre replacement on A5 cost?
There is nothing to pay to book. The price depends on the size and brand you choose, and we call you back to agree the full figure before we set off, so the cost on A5 is settled well before we arrive and you pay only once the new tyre is fitted.
How quickly can you reach me on the A5?
We aim to be with you inside the hour where traffic and your location allow, and we run callouts around the clock. Once you are safely off the carriageway, give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction or marker post number so we can pinpoint you on the A5 and get the new tyre on.
