A Handsworth tyre that is torn, bulged or run flat, and a car that is needed now: the fitter brings the correct size to the terrace, fits it, and checks the rest while there.
Some Handsworth tyres cannot be saved: the one driven flat from Soho Road to a Rookery Road terrace, the one a Hamstead Road pothole cut across the sidewall, the one worn through to the cords on its inside edge by kerb parking. When that car is a taxi due on the A41 tonight or the school run vehicle for Grove Lane, waiting is not an option. The size stamped into the sidewall tells the fitter what to load, and a common size may be on the van already.
Text the full sidewall code, the street and where the car is standing. The fitter arrives on the Handsworth terrace with the tyre, strips the dead one, mounts and balances the replacement, torques it, then runs a check over the pressures and tread of the other three, because a car that has killed one tyre on Handsworth's roads often has another on the way. The old tyre leaves with the van. The whole cost is agreed before the van heads for B21 and does not change at the kerb.

A terrace off Grove Lane or Rookery Road, a driveway in Handsworth Wood, or the Leisure Centre car park. Off Soho Road, not on it. Stuck on the A41 in a live lane, the car has to be moved to a side road before anything can happen.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Handsworth page
When the tyre is beyond saving on Church Lane (A4040) or Sandwell Road (A4040), get the car off into a street around Newton or Tower Hill before you phone. Say which road you left and what stands nearby, a shop sign or a bus stop, so the fitter finds you first time. A like-for-like tyre arrives in the van and the ruined casing goes away with it.
Getting the right replacement on the first visit to Handsworth takes more than the size. Read out every character of the tyre code, the load number and speed letter included, and mention any run-flat or XL stamp. There will be a question on the brand and wear of its B21 axle twin, so the replacement matches or the pair is renewed. A Handsworth Wood driveway or a Rookery Road terrace, with room for the van alongside, keeps the job away from the A41.
