What happens
Found it flat in Corby? Leave it where it is.
A Corby flat can be discovered rather than suffered. A slow leak from an A43 bolt empties the tyre on a Beanfield driveway overnight, or a commuter comes back on the London train to find the car at Corby station sitting on its rim. Driving it round to a tyre shop feels harmless across such wide roads, but a flat tyre folds its wall under the weight of the car and cuts itself up within a short distance.
Leave it parked and message a photo of the tyre plus its size, with the address or the station bay. The fitter arrives with a repair kit and, stock permitting, a matching tyre, removes the wheel and looks at the damage. A small tread puncture gets an internal patch; a crushed or cut wall is swapped for the new tyre. Each price is given before the van leaves, so choosing at the Corby car takes no deliberation.
