Aston's mix of motorway miles on the M6 and Expressway and short hops to Aston Cross finishes tyres early. Pick a tier, send the sidewall size, and they go on at the kerb.
Tyres on an Aston car take a hammering: the daily run up the A38(M) and off at Spaghetti Junction, lorry debris on the Lichfield Road, kerbs on the terraces around Aston Park, and the potholed estate roads off Aston Lane where the trade vans live. When the tread wears out, the choice runs from budget to premium in the size the car needs, brought out and fitted where it is parked.
Copy the sidewall marking exactly as printed and pick a price bracket; the fitter carries the option you choose. On your street off Witton Road or in the yard, every tyre is mounted, balanced on the machine and the nuts torqued, and the old tyres are loaded into the van. You are told the total on the phone and it does not change, and on a Villa match day say whether the car sits inside the closures.
Terraces around Aston Park and Witton Road, gated yards on Aston Lane and Holborn Hill, and forecourts off the Lichfield Road all suit a set of four. Around Villa Park the streets are closed either side of fixtures.

Getting the order right means copying every character from the sidewall of an Aston car or van. Following the size are two further codes, load index then speed rating; van tyres often carry a C marking and a higher load figure, while cars may be XL or run-flat. Both tyres across an Aston axle ought to be the same size and type. Put the locking key somewhere obvious, and leave the vehicle on a terrace near Aston Park or inside a yard on Holborn Hill with the gate open.
Not sure whether the car runs on run-flats? Look for letters such as ROF, SSR or EMT beside the size on the sidewall, or a missing spare wheel. Send those details from Aston Cross or Witton, and the right run-flat is brought to a terrace by Aston Park or a gated yard on Aston Lane, avoiding the streets closed around Villa Park on match days.
