The tyre is shredded, the car is on a New Addington estate road and you have a shift in Purley. Once a tyre in your size is located, it leaves Brent Cross and is fitted on that road.
Some Croydon tyres are beyond help: a sidewall pinched on the tram rails at Sandilands, a tread torn off after a blowout on the Coulsdon bypass, a puncture driven flat from Norbury to Thornton Heath. When the car is the household's only one, or the van that works out of Purley Way, waiting three days for a depot slot is the problem. This page is for the morning the tyre is dead and the day cannot be moved.
Send the sidewall marking in full, a photo of the damage and the Croydon postcode. The fitter checks his rack for your size, or names a supplier he can call at on the way to CR0, gives a single price for tyre and fitting, then fixes a time for New Addington or Purley. On the estate road the ruined tyre is cut off, the replacement seated and balanced, the nuts torqued, and the remaining three plus the spare are looked over so a second callout is not needed.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Croydon page
Stafford Road, Duppas Hill Road and Barclay Road together carry the A232 through Waddon past Waddon station, all busy with few gaps at the kerb. A tyre beyond saving means moving slowly into a residential road and parking legally. After you read us the size from the sidewall, the fitter brings a new tyre to where the car sits.
Replacing it on the first visit relies on the codes you give us. Along with the size, quote the load index and speed rating, check for a run-flat symbol and tell us the brand of the tyre opposite so both sides of the axle match. The call will ask one stock question: same make, or the nearest equivalent the van carries? On a New Addington estate road, pick a spot with space behind the car.
