Back at the car after a Silverstone race to find a tyre on its rim? Keep off it. Rescue Tyres comes out to the Towcester area car park, with permission, and makes the patch-or-replace call at the wheel.
Around Towcester flats turn up in predictable places. Race fans return to a Silverstone Circuit car park at dusk, racegoers walk back to their row at Towcester Racecourse, and a Paulerspury driver finds a corner sagging after a flint on the lane the night before. The tyre has gone completely soft, and the tempting thing is to limp towards the A43.
Resist that urge, because a few hundred yards on a flat grinds the sidewall against the road and rules out a repair. Tell us the car park letter and gate, or the house name, plus the size. Once the tyre is off, the fitter checks its liner and applies a BS AU 159 patch if the hole qualifies, or fits a new one if not.
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 Towcester as well.
Other jobs we do at the car include broken tyre replacement in Towcester and emergency tyre replacement in Towcester.
Silverstone Circuit and Towcester Racecourse car parks are wide and open; on race days give the gate and car park letter. Home drives across NN12 work too, and for a farm a what3words pin helps.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Towcester page
Going flat on Stratford Road, the A422 between Old Stratford and Deanshanger, calls for indicating early and stopping in a village street rather than on the open road. Pull fully off with the hazards on, lead everyone onto the grass away from passing cars, then send us a pin. Residential roads in the village usually offer a kerb with space for the van to stop behind.
A flat found on a Paulerspury drive deserves a proper look before anything else. Check the other three tyres, then search the tread for a flint or nail, see whether the valve stem has split, and run an eye along the sidewall for kerb damage. Driving to a Towcester garage on it destroys the casing within a few hundred yards. As a stopgap a space-saver works at its own lower speed limit; otherwise the car waits in Paulerspury for the fitter.
