A tyre found flat on the Ladywood estate or in a Five Ways car park stays where it is. Text the street and the sidewall code, and the fitter decides at the car.
A Ladywood flat can be found in the morning: a car in a residents' bay near Edgbaston Reservoir sits on its rim, or an office worker returns to a Brindleyplace car park to a tyre on the floor. The mistake is driving it to a garage, even a short way along the Hagley Road, because the rim grinds the sidewall on every rotation and turns a repairable tyre into scrap. Stay put on either side of the Middleway.
Send the bay or car park, then the sidewall code and which side the flat wheel is on. In the Ladywood bay the fitter pumps the tyre up to find where the air escapes, then pulls it off the rim to look inside. Tread puncture: patched from inside. Weeping valve: a new valve. Sidewall damage, or a tyre run on while flat: a replacement from the van. Both prices come on the call, so whichever verdict arrives at the car, the number is one you already had.
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 Ladywood as well.

Wherever the car is legally parked, estate permit bay by the Reservoir, Rotton Park drive, or an office car park at Brindleyplace or Five Ways with room for the van. Broad Street and the Middleway are both no-stopping, so not there.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Ladywood page
Noticed a flat on Belgrave Middleway (A4540) or Pershore Road (A441)? Get off the main road into a residential street toward Moseley before stopping. Hazards on, stand well clear of the traffic, and phone us with the road and the corner that has dropped. Running on a flat for long tends to destroy a tyre that might have been saved.
Found your car flat in Ladywood? Walk round all four Ladywood wheels, then study the flat one for embedded metal, valve damage or a kerb graze left by the Five Ways roundabout. Do not try to limp it to a garage across the Middleway; the sidewall folds and splits long before you get there. A space-saver is for a slow crawl, not a lasting fix. Leaving the car in its permit bay by Edgbaston Reservoir or on a Rotton Park drive is the better choice.
