Tyre trouble in Pelham?

In Pelham the roads do the damage. Washwood Heath Road carries a steady stream of vans, Highfield Road and Bowyer Road take the B4516 through the neighbourhood, and traffic from the trading estates towards Saltley scatters screws and offcuts across the carriageway. A tyre that picks one up may hold for a day before sagging outside the house. Photograph the tyre markings, give the Pelham street, and a tyre of that size is put aboard ahead of the trip.

What we do in Pelham
Tyre work in Pelham.
Pelham jobs split between household cars and working vans. Kerbside fitting includes balancing, and a van gets the same load rating it had before. A Pelham puncture near the centre of the tread, small enough for the rules, is plugged and patched from inside the casing following BS AU 159; a hole in the shoulder or the sidewall is not repairable. A burst gets the rim checked for dents first, and a keyless locking nut is gripped off so the wheel can come free.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Where we work in Pelham
Drives, bays and car parks.
A clear length of kerb on a residential street is the usual workplace in Pelham, since few houses have a drive. Alum Rock Road Car Park is public, and worth the short drive if the tyre still holds enough air to crawl there. Trading estate yards suit vans once the site has agreed to the work. Bus stops, loading bays and the busy stretch of Washwood Heath Road cannot be used, and nor can any spot that would leave the raised car poking into traffic.
Most calls from Pelham come from terraced streets, where cars sit nose to tail along both kerbs and a driveway is the exception. That is workable: what the job asks for is roughly a car's length of level road beside the flat wheel and room to kneel, and a neighbour shifting a car usually sorts it. Business vans make up much of the rest, from units on Saltley Business Park and Bordesley Trading Estate, where the site owner should know a fitter is coming. Washwood Heath Road and its shopping stretch are a poor place to stop, with buses pulling in and out, so move to a side road first. Pelham lies east of the A4540 Middleway and therefore outside the Birmingham Clean Air Zone, and reaching a Pelham address costs nothing extra on that score.

Pelham FAQs
Questions from Pelham.
There is no driveway at my house in Pelham. Can a tyre still be fitted?
Most Pelham homes have none, and the kerb serves perfectly well. The fitter wants level road beside the flat wheel and enough room to work round it, so if a neighbour's car is tight against yours, a small shuffle before the van turns up makes things easier.
Can you change a van tyre on Saltley Business Park?
A unit yard on Saltley Business Park is a sensible place for it, provided the site manager agrees to a fitter coming on site. Tell us which Saltley unit it is, along with the size and load rating shown on the old tyre, and a commercial tyre with the same rating comes along.
How close to Washwood Heath Road can you work?
Not on it. Along the shopping stretch buses keep stopping and a raised car there would leave nobody safe room, so drive slowly into the first residential street, stop clear of any junction and send the name of that street. The fitter takes it from there.
What happens if my Pelham tyre is beyond repair?
The fitter shows you why, whether a sidewall cut, damage out towards the shoulder or a casing wrecked by being driven flat, and suggests a like-for-like replacement. The price of that is spelled out first, and payment only happens after the Pelham job is done.
