If a Didcot tyre is ripped, bulging or down to the cords and you need to be on the A4130 today, the correct size comes out, goes on, and the remaining three get a look.
Tyres beyond repair in Didcot are often the result of local hazards: a sidewall sliced on Great Western Park stone, a tyre that came apart after bursting at Milton interchange, a flat driven along the A417 from Rowstock until the rubber broke. Meanwhile the car is wanted for a Harwell Campus shift, collecting a relative from Didcot Community Hospital or getting to Didcot Parkway.
The first thing needed is the complete sidewall marking, load index and speed rating too, so the right tyre is loaded before leaving. The price is agreed at the same point. In Ladygrove or wherever the car waits, the ruined tyre is stripped off, its replacement mounted and balanced, and the wheel torqued back onto the hub. The fitter then goes round the rest of the car checking tread depth and damage.
Other jobs we do at the car include burst tyre replacement in Didcot and locking wheel nut removal in Didcot.
Driveways in Ladygrove, Harwell or West Hagbourne, bays at Milton Park and Harwell Campus with permission, and Didcot Parkway surface parking. If the car is stranded on the A34, recovery to a safe place comes first.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Didcot page
A tyre that gives out on Nosworthy Way (A4130) near Crowmarsh Gifford, or on Didcot Road (B4493), needs to be off the road before anything else, so turn into the nearest residential street or car park. Call with the road number, the direction of travel and the closest landmark. A replacement is matched to the car's size and agreed in price on the phone, then fitted where the car has stopped.
The Didcot replacement is right first time when four things are clear before loading: tyre size, load figure, speed letter, and whether it is a run-flat or XL. Read them from the partner tyre if the damaged one is torn, and give that tyre's brand so the axle behaves evenly. The stock question is simply how common the size is. A Milton Park bay or Didcot Parkway surface parking lets the van stand right next to the car.
