End of term, car packed for the drive home, and the tyre on Heeley Road has a nail in the shoulder: emergency replacement in Selly Oak brings the right size and fits it, time agreed on the call.
Some Selly Oak tyres are beyond a patch. A sidewall split on a Selly Park kerb, a nail out at the shoulder, a tyre driven flat from Battery Retail Park back to Bournbrook until the liner is in ribbons. When that coincides with a hospital shift, a flight, or the last day of term with the car loaded, nobody wants a lift to a depot; they want the correct tyre on the van and the wheel back on the car by the afternoon.
Send the full marking from a sound tyre, letters included, along with a picture of the failed one, so the correct tyre is loaded in north London and there is no second trip. On Tiverton Road or the Selly Park drive it goes on and is balanced and torqued; the other three get a look at pressure and wear, because a second bad tyre found halfway down the A38 is worse than finding it now. The replacement figure was agreed on the phone and does not change at the kerb.

Emergency tyre replacement explained →Emergency tyre replacement on the Selly Oak page
Tyres ruined beyond repair near Edgbaston Cricket Ground or along Pershore Road South, the A441, are replaced at the roadside away from traffic. Tell us whether you are nearer Hazelwell or Stirchley, the sidewall size, and whether a spare is carried, so the fitter brings the right tyre first time.
In Selly Oak the replacement has to be right before the van sets off. Copy the full sidewall code, pick out the load figure and speed letter after the rim size, and note any XL or run-flat symbol. The partner tyre on that axle matters, since the new one should match its tread. We will ask whether an equivalent brand suits if your first choice is out of stock. Choose a spot the van can reach: a Battery Retail Park bay or a Weoley Park drive.
