The sidewall is torn on a Plumstead kerb or the shoulder is shredded from driving flat along Woolwich Road, and you need the car today. The right size comes out to your Greenwich street and goes on there.
Nothing on this page can be patched. The kerb above Woolwich has split the sidewall; a slow leak in Thamesmead has been driven on until the shoulder is gone; a lump of lorry debris on the A102 has cut through to the cord. You still have to be at the Peninsula offices by nine or at a school gate in Eltham by three, and the borough's depots want the car brought to them. The useful thing is a tyre in the correct size arriving where the car already is.
Take the size from the dead tyre or the one opposite it and send it with the road, SE18, SE7 or SE9, and a note on the parking. Everyday sizes may be on the van; anything rare, run-flats included, is collected from a supplier first and you hear if that shifts the timing. Off comes the dead tyre and on goes the new one, balanced and torqued; the remaining three are looked over for the same problem. The cost, tyre and fitting together, is agreed on the call.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Greenwich page
Between Gallions Reach and the Royal Docks Road, a destroyed tyre is best dealt with away from the dual carriageway. Beckton Retail Park is an easy name to give, as is Gallions Reach Shopping Park, and a car stopped close to one of them is easier to find than one somewhere along the A1020. Give us the size, and a replacement is sourced before the van sets out.
The first trip to Greenwich should bring the right tyre, so recite every character on the sidewall, including any RFT stamp alongside the load and speed figures. The newcomer should mirror the tyre opposite on that axle, and if that partner is badly worn, a pair is the smarter buy. Say too whether another brand in the same tier is fine, should your first choice be missing from the van. An unrestricted Kidbrooke or Plumstead street, or an Eltham drive, lets the van stand close by.
