When an Oxford tyre has been torn open, driven flat or split and the car has to be moving today, the correct size comes out to Cowley or Botley and goes on at the kerb.
A tyre that cannot be saved still has to be dealt with today. Potholes on the A4142 by the Mini plant shred walls, a match-day kerb strike near the Kassam Stadium leaves cords showing, and a tyre driven flat from the A34 into Botley is crushed beyond patching. When the car is needed for a Blackbird Leys school pickup or a late shift, waiting on a garage booking helps nobody.
Send the size from the damaged tyre, or from its partner on the same axle if the ruined one is unreadable, and say when the car must be moving. That size is located, the brand and full price agreed by phone, and it travels to the Oxford address to be mounted, balanced and torqued, with the other three looked over for cuts, bulges and pressure.
The same Brent Cross team also handles burst tyre replacement and broken tyre replacement in Oxford, booked on the same call.
A drive, a side street off the Cowley Road, a surface bay at the Kassam Stadium when there is no event, or a park and ride bay. A car stuck on the A34 or A4142 must be recovered off it first.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Oxford page
A tyre that gives out on the Northern By-pass Road (A40) means leaving at Wolvercote Roundabout and stopping in Upper Wolvercote or a quiet turning off Cherwell Drive, never beside the dual carriageway. Read the size off another tyre so the replacement is loaded on the van, and find the locking nut adaptor in the glovebox.
An Oxford replacement goes smoothly when the stock question is answered on the call. Is the exact model available, and if not, will an equivalent with the same load index and speed rating do? Read both from the wall after the size, and check for run-flat letters, which should not be mixed with standard tyres on one car. Mention the make on the surviving tyre of that axle. Then choose where the van can stop alongside: a Cowley side street or a park and ride row.
