A tyre found flat on Shaftmoor Lane or outside Sparkhill Library is not one to nurse onto the Stratford Road. Leave the car where it is and ring.
Flats in Sparkhill are discovered where cars are left: a Springfield terrace in the morning, a street off the Warwick Road after a day away by train from Tyseley station, the rear yard of a Stratford Road shop at closing. A slow leak from A34 glass, a cracked valve or a bead knocked off its seat by a kerb look the same from the pavement, and every yard driven on them grinds the inner liner and pushes a repairable tyre towards scrap.
Describe where the car is and give the sidewall size, then say whether the tyre dropped overnight or in one go. The fitter inflates it at the car and follows the leak: a screw through the tread is sealed from within, a leaking valve is changed, sidewall damage means a new tyre. You are told which before work starts, and the figure agreed on the phone already covers the visit to B11.
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 Sparkhill as well.
Need something else? Our pages on broken tyre replacement and 24 hour tyre service in Sparkhill explain those jobs.
Springfield, the terraces off Showell Green Lane, a rear yard on the Stratford Road, Wharfdale Road and the streets near Tyseley station, and the roads by Sparkhill Park. A car flat in a red route bay on the A34 needs pushing clear where that is safe.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Sparkhill page
A flat on Wake Green Road or College Road, both the B4217, needs the car moved off the through route as soon as it is safe. Turn into a side street, hazards on, everyone out and onto the footway, then call 07473 720871 with the street name and a landmark like Moseley Village station. The fitter then comes out with the right tyre.
Discovering a flat in Sparkhill, start by checking the other three tyres. Then look at the flat one: a screw sunk into the tread, a valve stem that bends or hisses, or a scuff from a Springfield kerb. Driving along the Stratford Road to a garage ruins what might have been a simple repair. Space-saver spares suit a slow, short run only, and plenty of cars carry none. The car or van is best left where it is, on its terrace or in a yard at Greet.
