When a Nechells tyre is shredded on the parkway or cut on an estate kerb and the vehicle has to move today, the fitter brings the exact size and fits it there.
The Nechells tyres that cannot be saved: the one driven flat along Heartlands Parkway to the Star City exit, the sidewall sliced on a Bloomsbury kerb, the van tyre worn through the cords at a Saltley Gate unit. When the vehicle is a delivery van with a round to do or a car for the school run from Duddeston, waiting is not an option. The full sidewall code, load rating included, tells the fitter what to load, and the common car and van fitments are often on the van already.
Text the code, the location and which wheel. With the tyre on board, the fitter reaches the B7 yard or kerb, removes the dead one, mounts the replacement, balances it and torques it up. Tread and pressures on the other three are checked before leaving, because a vehicle that has just lost a tyre on Nechells roads often has another close behind. The old tyre leaves in the van, and the cost fixed on the call stays fixed.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement in Nechells and wheel balancing in Nechells, booked on the same call.
Yards at the Heartlands Parkway units, with the site's go-ahead, Nechells Green and Duddeston streets, and the Star City car park. Never the A47 parkways or the Aston Expressway; a vehicle stuck in a live lane needs 999 and recovery first.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Nechells page
When a tyre is beyond repair on Small Heath Highway (A45) or Watery Lane Middleway (A4540), get off the road into a side street near Hay Mills or Yardley first. Name the road you left and anything nearby that stands out. We fit a replacement of the same size and load rating there and then.
Bringing the right replacement to Nechells on the first visit needs every figure moulded into the B7 tyre: size, load number and speed letter, with XL, the C of a van tyre or run-flat noted. Expect to be asked which brand and how much tread the axle partner carries, so have that ready. Space for the van to park next to the vehicle is easy to find in a permitted unit yard, at Star City or along Nechells Green.
