Mobile tyre fitting
in Tower Hill.
Tower Hill in Birmingham sits on the A34 Walsall Road in B42, between Hamstead and Perry Beeches and not far from the Great Barr Interchange. Rescue Tyres comes to your car on a drive or a side street and fits the tyre there.

Being on the A34 shapes most of wM6t goes wrong here. Drivers leave the M6 at the Great Barr Interchange, head down the Walsall Road, and a tyre damaged on the motorway starts losing air as they near home. Queslett Road brings its share too. Stop on a side road in Tower Hill rather than the main road, send the size across, and a fitter heads out with the right replacement.

Tyre work in Tower Hill.
Tyres here cover plenty of A34 and motorway mileage, so replacements are common, matched to the sidewall size in whatever quality suits the car. Punctures in the repairable centre band of the tread are fixed internally, meeting BS AU 159. After a blowout the rim gets checked over for cracks or buckling before a new tyre is fitted. A missing locking wheel nut key causes no problem either: the nut is taken off and replaced with a plain one. The service runs day and night.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives and side streets off the Walsall Road are the usual working spots in Tower Hill. The Scott Arms Car Park suits a car that will still reach it safely, parked clear of the entrance and exit. The A34, Queslett Road and the M6 bridge are all out. Rescue Tyres never works on a motorway hard shoulder or in any emergency area; come off at the next exit or pull into services first.
Most calls come from homes on the streets either side of the A34 Walsall Road and around Old Walsall Road, all in B42. The Scott Arms Car Park is a common stopping place for drivers who pulled in when the tyre warning appeared. Hamstead station is close for anyone who commutes by rail, and Perry Beeches and Queslett are near neighbours. The Walsall Road carries heavy traffic and is no place to wait with a jacked car; Queslett Road is little better. Residential side streets are safer in every way. Anyone whose tyre fails on the M6 itself should carry on to the next exit or a service area while the car is still driveable, and should never expect a fitter to come to the motorway.
