Walking back from the Metro to a car sitting on its rim is a bad end to a day. In Wednesbury, do not drive on the flat; ring, and repair or replacement is judged beside the car.
A flat tyre is often the end of a slow leak nobody noticed: a car left all day at the Wednesbury Parkway or Great Western Street Metro stop, a second car parked for a week in Old Park, a van left over a weekend on a Leabrook yard. Driving even a short way on it, say from Friar Park to a garage on Walsall Road, folds the casing against the road and leaves a fixable hole beyond saving.
Tell us the car, the size off the sidewall and exactly where it stands, including which Metro stop or which end of the street. Repair materials and replacement stock both travel in the van, and on arrival the wheel comes off so the casing can be checked from within. Where the inner lining survived and the hole sits in the permitted zone, it is patched; if not, the matching tyre goes on. Both prices are quoted while you are still on 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 Wednesbury as well.

The Metro park-and-rides at Parkway and Great Western Street if there is space around the bay, Friar Park and Wood Green drives, council car parks near the bus station, and side roads off the A461. Not in a live lane of the Black Country New Road.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Wednesbury page
Found a flat on Wood Green Road (A461)? Indicate early and turn off into a side road; a live lane is no place to stop. On Hollyhedge Road (A4031) near Lyndon, a quieter turning is a better place to wait than the main road. Engine off, handbrake on, look at the wheel from the kerb, then phone us with the road and a description of the tread damage.
Your first job with a flat in Wednesbury is a lap of the car, because screws shed near the Leabrook yards rarely pick on one tyre. Then crouch by the dead one: is there a screw head, a valve stem that bends or has cracked, a pale kerb graze on the sidewall? Pumping it up for a garage run along Walsall Road wrecks a casing worth saving. Space savers carry their own low speed limit, so an Old Park car is best left put.
