Walking out to a flat tyre in Galley Common or at Nuneaton station is a bad start. Leave it parked, and a Rescue Tyres fitter reaches the car to judge whether the tyre can be saved.
A tyre found flat has usually been losing air for a while: a slow leak from a screw picked up near the Bermuda Park units, a valve that has perished, or a rim seal disturbed by a Stockingford speed cushion. Driving it round to a garage on Hinckley Road seems sensible. It is not: a short run on a flat squashes the sidewall and shreds the inside, which ruins a Nuneaton tyre that was still repairable.
Keep the car parked, then phone with its location and the sidewall size. On arrival the fitter reinflates if possible to find the leak, removes the tyre and looks inside. A clean tread puncture gets repaired; a failed valve is swapped; a liner already damaged from running flat means a replacement, quoted before it goes on. Either way you get the decision at the car, not a guess over the phone.
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 Nuneaton as well.
If the job turns out to be different, see broken tyre replacement, wheel balancing in Nuneaton or 24 hour tyre repair.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Nuneaton page
Going flat on Coton Road (A444) through Chilvers Coton or on Griff Way (A444) is awkward because both carry steady traffic. Move off into a residential turning as soon as it is safe, keep your speed low, and avoid driving any distance on the rim. Phone us naming the road and the closest junction, and say whether you have a spare or a sealant kit in the boot.
Whether it is an Attleborough terrace or a St Nicolas Park drive, glance at all four corners first. On the soft one, search for a screw bedded in the grooves, a perished or loose valve, or a kerb graze across the wall. Inflating it and heading to a garage across CV11 wrecks the casing even on a short hop. A space-saver buys a careful journey at the speed stamped on it, nothing more. If the Nuneaton spot is legal, the car waits there.
