A tyre found flat on a Hawkesley drive, outside a Cotteridge house or in the car park at Kings Norton station is dealt with where it stands, not dragged along Pershore Road South.
Kings Norton flats can be discovered at the start and end of the day. A nurse leaving Hawkesley before dawn finds the car sitting low; a commuter back at the station car park finds a tyre on the rim; a delivery driver at the Lifford Lane units finds the van flat before the round. The cause could be a fixing from the Business Centre, a failed valve, or a kerb on the canal bridge the previous day. Driving on it, even to Cotteridge, will wreck the tyre.
Keep the car still and message where it is, the sidewall code and a picture. At the car the fitter inflates it, traces the leak and makes the call: a small hole in the tread centre gets an inside patch to the British Standard, sidewall or shoulder damage means a tyre from the van. Both outcomes are priced on the phone in advance, so nothing is haggled over on the drive, and asking costs nothing.
On run-flat tyres? They behave differently once deflated, so check the handbook's limits and read our page on run-flat tyres; we fit replacement run-flat tyres at the car in Kings Norton as well.
Once you have rung, we can also cover broken tyre replacement, locking wheel nut removal in Kings Norton and van tyre fitting.
Hawkesley, Primrose, Pool Farm and Walkers Heath driveways, Cotteridge kerbsides, the marked bays at Kings Norton station, the yard or roadside at a Lifford Lane unit. A flat on the A441 needs the car rolled on to a side road first.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Kings Norton page
Lose pressure on Bristol Road South (A38) and the safest move is to leave the main road at the next turning. A residential street in Turves Green gives room to open doors without stepping into traffic. With the hazards going and passengers on the footway, phone us with the road name, the direction you were heading and any shop you can see.
Found flat outside a Walkers Heath house? First check the other three are firm, then look for the cause: a screw from the Lifford Lane units in the tread, a scrape on the sidewall from the canal bridge kerbs, or a missing valve cap and a cracked stem. Driving on to Cotteridge for help flattens the casing within a street or two. A space-saver is for a slow, short run, not the A441 or the Outer Circle. On an estate drive the car can simply stay put for the fitter.
