The tyre is torn, the car is on a Chislehurst drive and you are due in Orpington. If your size can be found, it is loaded in NW2 and fitted at the house, that day when the diary permits.
Some tyres cannot be saved: a sidewall gashed on a Cudham verge, a tread shredded after a blowout on the A21, a puncture that was driven on from Elmers End to Beckenham. When that tyre belongs to the only car in the household, or the van that earns the living from a unit in St Mary Cray, the wait for a depot appointment is the real problem. This page is for the day the tyre is dead and the diary is full.
Send the full sidewall marking, a photo of the damage and the postcode. The fitter confirms whether your size is racked in the van or needs collecting from a supplier en route to BR7, gives you one figure for tyre and fitting, and agrees a time for Chislehurst. At the drive the ruined tyre is cut away, the fresh one seated, balanced and torqued, and the other three plus the spare are given a look so you are not ringing again from the A21 next week.
Our Brent Cross team also offers burst tyre replacement, wheel balancing and puncture repair in Bromley.
Any drive from Biggin Hill to Penge, a permit bay in Beckenham or Bromley town you are allowed to use, or a trade yard off Cray Avenue. Retail car parks at The Glades and Nugent Shopping Park are private.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Bromley page
In the town centre the A21 becomes Kentish Way and Tweedy Road, two busy stretches with almost no room to pull in. After a tyre fails along there, creep forward into a residential road near Bromley North station and phone once you are clear. If the tyre cannot be saved, a new one in your size is fitted and the ruined one removed.
One trip only works if the codes are right. Past the size, we want the load index, the speed letter and any run-flat stamp, plus the brand on the opposite tyre so both wheels on that axle end up matched. Our one stock query on the phone: stick with that brand, or take the nearest equivalent carried? Around Biggin Hill or Downe, pick a driveway or a pub car park with room for the van.
