Mobile tyre fitting
in Wigmore.
Wigmore sits at the edge of Luton, where LU2 housing gives way to open land and hamlets such as Cockernhoe and Mangrove Green. Rescue Tyres covers both sides of that line, sending a fitter and a van carrying the tyre.
A fitter at your car
in Wigmore.
Wigmore is one of the town's larger suburbs, and its tyre problems are household ones: a flat discovered on the drive, a slow leak noticed on the school run, or tread that has worn down to the legal limit. Just beyond the houses, Cockernhoe, Wandon End and Tea Green sit out in the open, where a car on a flat tyre has no sensible way to reach a tyre shop. For all of them the answer is one call, and a fitter who arrives carrying the right size.

Tyre work in Wigmore.
Work in Wigmore divides between family cars on drives and vans at the business parks. New tyres are sourced to match what the sidewall says and balanced before they go back on. With a small tread puncture, BS AU 159 asks for the tyre to come off the wheel and be mended from within, rather than plugged from outside, and that is the method used. A burst is replaced where the car has stopped safely, and a lost locking nut key still lets the wheel come off.
Repairs follow BS AU 159; the legal minimum tread is 1.6mm (GOV.UK).
Drives, bays and car parks.
Drives are normal in Wigmore, and the fitter is happy to work on one. The Asda customer car park is an option for a car still able to make the short trip, parked in a quiet corner well away from the doors. Out in the hamlets, the owner's own drive or yard is better than the edge of a lane. Bays at Butterfield Business Park suit vans and company cars when the landlord agrees. A bend, a slope or soft ground cannot be used.
Most calls come from Wigmore's own homes and drives, which make up nearly all of the suburb. The next biggest share comes from the hamlets within a mile or so: Cockernhoe, Wandon End, Mangrove Green and Tea Green, with Darley Hall and Breachwood Green a little further out. Butterfield Business Park and Barratt Industrial Park account for most of the vans. The fitter can use any firm, level and legal spot: a drive, a quiet kerb, or a business park bay where the site allows it. On a country road without a verge, get the car off the carriageway into a wider spot before anyone starts. The DART stop at Central Terminal is under a mile off, which puts the airport car parks within reach too.
