A tyre sitting flat on the tarmac at Rugby station or outside a house in Brownsover is a reason to stop, not drive. Rescue Tyres comes out and sorts it at the car.
Flats in Rugby are often discovered rather than felt. A commuter back from Euston in the evening sees a front tyre sagging in a Rugby station bay, a visitor to Caldecott Park finds one wheel on the rim, or the car on a Long Lawford drive has lost its air overnight after the M6 run home. Limping across town to a garage feels sensible. Driving even a short distance on a flat crushes the sidewall and wrecks the inner liner, turning a repairable tyre into scrap.
Keep the Rugby car put and call, giving the plate, a size read from a sound tyre and the exact spot, such as the station bay number or the street in Brownsover. The fitter reinflates or removes the tyre to find the cause. A tread puncture that passes inspection gets repaired; a torn liner, sidewall damage or a perished valve means replacement. Both possible costs are made clear on the call before the van leaves.
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 Rugby as well.
The same Brent Cross team also handles broken tyre replacement in Rugby and new tyres fitted in Rugby, booked on the same call.
Rugby station car park, the streets beside Caldecott Park, a drive in Long Lawford or Brownsover, or a permit street near Rugby School if the bay allows a van alongside. Anywhere the car went flat and is parked legally.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Rugby page
When the steering turns soft on Corporation Street (A426) or Rüsselsheim Way (A426), act early. Indicate, roll gently into a side street or into Rugby LTC car park, and set the hazard lights flashing. Running on a flat wrecks the sidewall, so stop rather than limp home. Then ring with the street, the corner that has dropped and, where legible, the sidewall numbers.
Circle the car before anything else, because a nail from a Houlton building road rarely travels alone. Then study the soft one: a screw glinting in the grooves, a split rubber valve, or a pale scuff where it rubbed a Clifton upon Dunsmore kerb. Rolling it to a Rugby garage folds the wall and shreds the liner within a couple of streets. Treat a space-saver as a gentle ride home at its printed limit, never M6 miles. A legally parked car can simply stay.
