Back from the Chase line to a tyre on its rim at Bloxwich North, or out of the door in Pelsall to a flat? Do not drive it; ring, and patch or replacement is decided at the car.
In Bloxwich a flat is usually found, not felt. The slow leak from a screw picked up around Coalpool finally empties the tyre overnight on a Mossley drive, or a commuter leaves the train at Bloxwich station to find the car sagging in its bay. Driving a flat down the High Street to a garage seems harmless over a short distance, but the rim pinches the sidewall and a repairable tyre becomes scrap within a few hundred yards.
Leave the car where it has come to rest. Send the size from the sidewall, the location and a note of whether the locking wheel nut key is inside. With the wheel off, the inside of the casing is checked: a tidy hole in the tread on a tyre not driven flat is repaired; anything worse is swapped for a new tyre carried on board. You hear both figures on the phone, so the WS3 decision holds no surprises.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Bloxwich page
Flat on Elmore Green Road (B4210), Broad Lane or Sandbank? Straight away, indicate, lose speed gently and stop in the nearest side street rather than on a bend or by a junction. Put the hazards on and check whether a nail is visible. If the car carries a spare, leave it in the boot; the fitter can deal with the original tyre.
Found a flat on your Mossley drive? Before phoning, check the other three, since screws from the Coalpool and Goscote units often come in pairs. Then examine the flat tyre for a nail head, a cracked valve stem or a scrape where a Blakenall Heath kerb caught it. Reinflating it for a drive to a Walsall garage crushes the sidewall. Space-saver wheels are for brief, slow journeys, so if the car is safely parked in WS3, leave it there and let the fitter decide.
