Choosing new tyres in Didcot is done on the phone; the fitter then brings them to a Ladygrove drive, a Milton Park office bay or the Didcot Parkway car park and fits them there.
Didcot cars clock up steady miles: commutes out to Milton Park on the A4130 and Harwell Campus on the A4185, drives to Oxford on the A34, and weekend trips along the A417 towards Wantage. Tread wears down on the long runs, while the unfinished roads at Great Western Park and the square kerbs at the Milton Park roundabouts chip away at sidewalls. Sooner or later new tyres are needed, and a morning at a garage is the last thing anyone wants.
Look for the size on the sidewall, such as 205/60 R16 96H, and share it with an idea of how the car is used. Options from budget to premium come back with the complete fitted price for each. Once you choose, the tyres are brought to the address, mounted on the wheels, balanced and tightened with a torque wrench, and the old tyres are taken away for disposal.
Driveways and kerbs across Ladygrove, Northbourne, Broadway and Great Western Park have no permit controls. Surface bays at Milton Park, Harwell Campus with reception warned, and ticketed Orchard Centre bays all work.

On a Ladygrove drive the whole sidewall code matters. After the size, a mark such as 96H states load index and speed rating, and a new tyre should not fall below either. XL means extra load; RFT or a run-flat symbol means no spare is expected. Tyres on the same axle ought to match, which matters for a heavy SUV on the A34. Mention where the locking key is kept, then leave the car on a finished Great Western Park street or in a Milton Park bay.
Moving a Ladygrove or Great Western Park car off run-flats onto ordinary tyres is allowed, but you lose the ability to drive on after a puncture and have no spare either, so buy a sealant kit. Both tyres on an axle should match. The system that warns of low pressure is tested after a kerbside fitting anywhere in OX11.
