Mobile Tyre Fitting · M42

New tyres fitted at the roadside
on the M42.

New tyres fitted at the roadside still deserve a proper job, and that is what you get near the M42. We balance every wheel on the van, torque the nuts to the manufacturer's figure and set your pressures before you drive on.

It is a considered replacement rather than a rushed fix. We carry budget through premium tyres for most cars, vans and 4x4s, fit them where you have safely stopped off the M42, and take the old set away for recycling. Nothing is left behind at the roadside.

Safety comes first, so we only fit once you are clear of the live motorway: pull off at the next junction, services or a lay-by. From there we usually reach you within the hour where we can, seven days a week, with the price confirmed on the phone first and nothing to pay up front.

  • Balanced and torqued: set to the correct pressure and manufacturer spec
  • Safe spot only: fitted off the live motorway, never in a running lane
  • Budget or premium: a proper set for most cars, vans and 4x4s
  • Worn tyres recycled: the old set goes with us when we leave

About the M42

The road we cover.

The M42 curves around the east and south of Birmingham across 11 junctions, tying together the M5, M6 and M40. It serves Solihull, the NEC and Birmingham Airport at junction 6, meets the M6 at junctions 7 and 8 and the M40 at junction 3a, and continues to Tamworth at junction 10. It is a busy orbital route handling airport, exhibition and commuter traffic on the edge of Birmingham.

Wherever you've stopped along it, we bring budget and premium tyres to you and fit them on the spot, rather than have you drive on worn rubber.

Stay safe first

Broken down on the M42?

If your tyres are simply worn rather than failed, you don't have to risk the motorway at all, come off at the next services or junction and we'll meet you there to fit fresh ones.

Get off the carriageway

Reach an emergency area, the hard shoulder or the next exit if you safely can, and put your hazards on.

Stand behind the barrier

Leave the vehicle on the passenger side and wait well back. In a live lane, call 999 or National Highways on 0300 123 5000.

Call us

Once you are safe, call and we will come to you on the M42 to new tyres fitted at the roadside.

"Outstanding service. From the moment I called to driving away with the tyre repaired was less than an hour, at 7pm on a Sunday while stranded on the M25."

"I had a flat tyre off the A40 and they sorted me out. The mobile van was quick to arrive and had the tyre swapped out within 20 minutes."

"Had a rapidly deflating tyre. Rang Rescue Tyres, they had it in stock and I was back on the road within an hour."

M42 FAQs

Mobile Tyre Fitting on the M42, answered.

Will the tyres be balanced and torqued properly off the M42?
Yes. We balance each wheel on the van, torque the nuts to the manufacturer's figure and set your pressures before you drive off. The roadside fit near the M42 meets the same standard you would expect from a garage, just done where you have stopped.
What do you do with my old tyres after fitting near M42?
They leave with us. Once the new set is fitted and checked, the worn tyres go into the van for recycling, so nothing is left at the roadside near M42. There is no separate disposal charge to deal with.
Is a roadside tyre fit near the M42 safe and up to standard?
It is, provided you are parked well clear of traffic. We use proper mobile balancing and torque equipment and follow the manufacturer's specs, checking every wheel before you set off. Safety comes first, so we only fit once you are in a secure spot off the M42.
Should I replace worn tyres before driving further on the M42?
If the tread is low or the sidewalls are damaged, it is safer to stop. Come off the M42 at the next junction or services and let us fit a fresh set there, rather than pushing worn tyres along a fast motorway.
Do the new tyres come with a guarantee if fitted near M42?
Yes. The tyres carry their manufacturer's warranty against faults, the same as a garage supply, and our fitting is done to spec. If you have any concern after a fit near M42, call us and we will put it right.
