When a Kitts Green tyre cannot be patched, torn on a Meadway island or run flat along Garretts Green Lane, the correct size and load index comes out to the unit or drive and is fitted the same visit.
The Kitts Green tyre that is beyond saving has met the kerbed central reservation on The Meadway, been driven flat down Garretts Green Lane with a load on, or has cord showing after months on the A45 Coventry Road. The van is due out of the unit, the car is due at Lea Hall station, and there is no spare or only a space-saver. The question is how soon a tyre with the right size and load index can be on the vehicle without it moving again.
Take the full marking off the sidewall of the matching tyre on the same axle, load index and speed letter included, and send it with the unit or street. That tyre is loaded, fitted and balanced at the vehicle, the other tyres get a check for cuts and pressure, and the rim is examined if a kerb or pothole did the damage. Tyre, fitting and the run out to B33 are agreed as one figure before the van sets off.
If the job turns out to be different, see burst tyre replacement, new tyres fitted or 24 hour tyre service in Kitts Green.
Yards on the trading estate, the roadside along Garretts Green Lane, home drives in Lea Village, Glebe Farm, Tile Cross and Lea Hall, or a bay at Lea Hall station. A vehicle stuck on The Meadway needs recovery to one of those.

A tyre that cannot be saved can be swapped at work. Staff at Speedwell Industrial Estate, Klaxon Industrial Estate or Olton Wharf Trading Estate should check the yard owner is happy for the van to come in, then send the unit name, the bay and the tyre size. The new tyre is fitted, balanced and inflated to the car's figure before the keys come back.
The first Kitts Green visit should bring the right tyre, which means answering the stock question in full. A car needs size, load index and speed rating; a van from the Garretts Green units adds the C marking and dual load figures. Say if the tyre is a run-flat. The replacement should match the tyre opposite on that axle. Then describe where the van can stand next to the damaged wheel: inside a unit yard, a quiet Tile Cross kerb or a Lea Hall station bay.
