Tyre trouble in Norham Manor?

in Norham Manor.
Most tyre trouble in Norham Manor is discovered rather than witnessed. A car is left standing on a north Oxford street over a weekend, and the tyre that collected something on the A4165 or the A4144 Woodstock Road has gone soft before anybody walks back to it. Those two roads carry enough traffic through this part of OX2 to explain the bulk of it. Give the street, plus the size stamped into the sidewall, and the correct tyre sets off on the van.

What we do in Norham Manor
Tyre work in Norham Manor.
New tyres are ordered to the size already on the car and fitted at the kerb, balanced on the van and torqued before the fitter leaves. A nail picked up square in the tread is usually repairable: the wheel is stripped, the inner liner read for the damage that hides in there, and a patch-plug made to BS AU 159 seals it from within. Kerb damage on the sidewall does not qualify and means a new tyre. Emergency replacement and 24 hour callouts cover OX2 and OX1.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Norham Manor
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive, where the house still has one, is the first choice. If there is none, a permit bay on a side turning will do, with the car straightened into it and the offside kept clear of anything passing. Say whether the drive is loose gravel or firm, because a jack wants something solid beneath it. What does not suit is the Banbury Road frontage during the day, or any spot that leaves the van holding up a narrow street for everybody behind it.
Callers are spread across the grid of streets lying between Banbury Road and Woodstock Road, with Park Town on the doorstep and North Oxford running away beyond it. A good many of these houses are divided into flats, so an address can be a basement door with no parking attached, and where the car actually ended up matters more than the house number does. Residential bays inside the ring road are permit controlled, which is no obstacle to a wheel change provided the car sits within the law and the fitter is not kneeling in a cycle lane. The public car parks at Worcester Street, Gloucester Green and Walton Well Road are run by their operator, whose rules come first. Oxford station is about a mile off, near enough that people walk home and find the flat later.
Nights and weekends
24 hours in Norham Manor.
North Oxford rings late when somebody comes back from a long drive or a shift and finds the tyre down before work the next morning. Somebody is on the line around the clock, the size gets checked while the call is still live, and nothing is ordered until you have agreed the figure.

Norham Manor FAQs
Questions from Norham Manor.
Is a permit bay in Norham Manor somewhere you can work?
Permit bays are fine to work from, so long as the car is legally in one and the fitter can reach the wheel without standing in the road. Say which street it is on, and whether the bay is permit only or pay and display.
My car is parked near Oxford station rather than at home. Can you come to it there?
Station ground belongs to the railway operator, so their agreement is needed before a wheel comes off in it. Many drivers shift the car to a turning near the Hythe Bridge Street end instead, or leave it at home in OX2 and walk in.
Will the Zero Emission Zone affect a callout to Norham Manor?
The zone runs over a handful of streets in the centre, none of them here, so an OX2 address is unaffected. Work on a stationary car attracts no charge in any case. Give the postcode and the nearest corner.
Can a wheel be balanced on the street, or does that need a workshop?
Balancing happens where the car stands, because the van carries the equipment: the wheel is spun, weighted and put straight back on. Wheel alignment is the one job that is not done mobile, since it needs a fixed rig and a ramp under the whole car.
