Mobile tyre fitting
in Hay Mills.
Hay Mills sits where the A45 Small Heath Highway rejoins the Coventry Road at Heybarnes Circus, in east Birmingham. Rescue Tyres takes a new tyre, or the kit to mend yours, to the car on a nearby street, so it can stay put.

in Hay Mills.
Two versions of the A45 meet in Hay Mills, and most tyre trouble here starts on one of them. The Highway is a dual carriageway with barriers, the Coventry Road a busy shopping route, and Heybarnes Circus funnels both into one roundabout. A tyre losing air on either usually limps into a side street off Stockfield Road or the Coventry Road before the driver rings. That is exactly where the fitter wants it: parked, still and clear of the through route.

Tyre work in Hay Mills.
A car that picked up a bolt on the Highway usually needs one of two things: a puncture repair or a new tyre. Repair is only an option when the hole lies within the area BS AU 159 permits, and only after the tyre is off the wheel and its inner lining checked. Beyond that, a replacement in the correct size, load and speed rating is mounted and balanced by the kerb. Blowouts, and a locking nut whose key has disappeared, are sorted at the car too, day or night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A side street off the Coventry Road, with the car parked properly and a little room on the road side, is the usual spot. Some streets towards Yardley have drives, and those are always better. Trade vehicles are simplest to reach in their own yard on the Speedwell or Kingpin estates. A supermarket bay suits a car that still drives. What cannot be used is the Highway, Heybarnes Circus itself, or a bus stop on the Coventry Road.
Hay Mills straddles three postcode districts, B25, B10 and B11, so the address matters more than the name. Callers live on the terraces flanking the Coventry Road, from the roads heading towards Tyseley along Wharfdale Road and Tyseley Hill Road, and from trade units at Speedwell Industrial Estate and Kingpin Industrial Park. Neither the Highway nor the roundabout at Heybarnes Circus is a place to work: there is no verge worth the name and the traffic never pauses. The Coventry Road carries buses past the shops, so the fitter works from a turning off it instead. Lidl's car park serves if the car will still roll there under its own power. The Middleway boundary of the Clean Air Zone is a long way back towards the city, so no charge applies.

24 hours in Hay Mills.
Hay Mills calls after midnight are often drivers who came off the Highway at Heybarnes Circus with a warning light on and a tyre going down. Anyone stranded on the dual carriageway itself and feeling unsafe should dial 999 before anything else. Once the car is parked on a side street, ring us and the fitter sets out after the price is agreed.
