A tyre flat on the rim outside your Ocker Hill house or in the Tipton station car park is not one to drive on. Leave it, ring, and whether it gets patched or swapped is settled beside the car.
Flats in Tipton turn up in familiar places: a slow leak that finished overnight on a Summerhill terrace, a car back from Great Bridge Retail Park with a nail that has now let go, a commuter returning to Dudley Port station to find a wheel down on its rim. It is tempting to creep along the A457 to a garage. Even a short run flat mashes the sidewall inside and turns a possible repair into a scrap tyre.
Keep the car still and tell us the size on the sidewall, the street or car park and whether a locking wheel nut key is in the glovebox. Once the tyre is off at the car, the fitter inspects the inside: a clean tread puncture is patched, and crushed rubber or a shoulder hole calls for a replacement if the van has your size, in Tipton. The Tipton caller hears both figures on the phone, so nothing comes as a surprise in Toll End.
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 Tipton as well.
You can book broken tyre replacement in Tipton or 24 hour tyre service in Tipton on the same call.
A Tipton Green or Summerhill terrace where a gap can be made, drives in Ocker Hill, the station car parks on Owen Street and at Dudley Port, Burnt Tree Tesco. A flat on the A4123 needs recovery off it first.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Tipton page
Noticed a flat on Tividale Road (A4033) or Tipton Road (A4037)? Signal, slow down and turn into the first side street rather than stopping in the lane. Around Rounds Green, a residential road is a calmer place for the car to wait. Once parked, hazards flashing, have everyone step out kerbside and see whether the tyre is fully deflated or still holding some air.
Before phoning about a flat in Tipton, check the other three tyres, since a car that collected a screw off the A4037 may have picked up two. Then crouch at the sagging corner and look for a nail head, a valve that wobbles or has split, or a gouge from a Summerhill kerb. Pumping it up for a run to a garage crushes the casing further. A space saver manages a short trip at low speed, but on tight DY4 streets leaving the car and calling is simpler.
