A tyre found flat on Monday morning on an Alwold Road drive, or after the shops at the Square, is repaired or replaced at the car; the rim never has to ride to Selly Oak.
Weoley Castle flats are found at the front door. The car sat all weekend on Gregory Avenue while a screw from Shenley Lane let the air out, or the valve gave up overnight on Castle Road, or a kerb strike at the Square yesterday finally told. A hospital worker may find one before dawn, a parent before school. Rolling the car down Barnes Hill on the rim to a garage would destroy the tyre and possibly the wheel too.
Keep the car on hard standing and message the street with the sidewall code and a picture. Air goes in, the leak is traced, and the decision is made there: a hole in the tread centre gets a permanent inside patch to BS AU 159, a leak from the sidewall, shoulder or bead means a tyre off the van. Whichever it is, the price was given on the phone before the visit and the enquiry itself costs nothing.
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 Weoley Castle as well.

Any drive or hard kerb across Weoley Castle and Shenley Fields, or the Square car park in a bay well away from the buses. A car flat on the grass verge should be rolled on to tarmac first, since a jack will sink into the soft ground.

Flat tyre: the first steps →Flat tyre help on the Weoley Castle page
A flat on Wolverhampton Road South (A4123) or Long Lane (A4034) calls for a calm exit into the first side road you reach. In Brandhall the residential streets give room to park safely with the hazards flashing. Keep passengers on the pavement, leave the jack in the boot, and phone us with the road number and the nearest landmark.
Finding a tyre flat on Castle Road, look at the other three first, as a pothole on Barnes Hill can take out two. Then hunt for the reason: a screw head in the tread, a split valve, or a gouge on the sidewall from the kerb at the Square. Driving to a garage at Selly Oak flattens the casing beyond saving. A space-saver spare will manage a slow, short journey, but not days of climbing the estate hills. Keep it on the drive, off the verge.
