Mobile tyre fitting
in Tanworth-in-Arden.

in Tanworth-in-Arden.
Out here the roads are lanes, and the B4101 Broad Lane and the B4102 through The Common are the main ones. A tyre that clips a lane edge or picks up a screw tends to go soft slowly, and the car is often found flat on the drive. The M42 is the other source: a tyre that fails there has to reach an exit before anything can be done about it. Ring with the size and the house name, and the tyre is lined up before anyone leaves north London.

Tyre work in Tanworth-in-Arden.
It all starts with the sidewall size, which lets the correct tyre be loaded at Brent Cross. At the house, the tyre is mounted and the wheel balanced. Tread punctures are inspected from inside the casing, and should the damage fall where BS AU 159 allows a repair, it is patched and plugged rather than replaced. A tyre destroyed on the motorway is swapped once the car is off it and safe. A lost key for the locking nuts will not hold things up, and the service runs through the night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
A private drive is by far the likeliest working surface, and a long gravel one is usually fine once a level spot is found. A farmyard or a field gateway with firm ground works for an outlying house. The Earlswood Trading Estate has yards for vans with the site's agreement. The single-track lanes, the stretches of the B4101 and B4102 where cars cannot pass, and anything on the M42 or its slip roads are never used.
Calls come from Tanworth itself and from Wood End, Danzey Green, Aspley Heath and Earlswood, where houses sit well apart and many have long drives. Drives and farmyards between them host almost all the work around here. The lanes are narrow and a van cannot sit in one with a car jacked up beside it, so a car that has stopped on a lane needs moving to a gateway or a drive. Wood End and Danzey stations serve commuters, but a station car park only works where the operator allows it, so the house is usually the better meeting point. The Earlswood Trading Estate accounts for working vehicles. For anyone commuting into Birmingham, the clean air charge begins only inside the A4540 Middleway.
