Why sit in a waiting room off the Uxbridge Road when the tyres can come to your avenue in W5? Pick the brand by phone; the fitter does the rest on the drive.
Ealing wears tyres out in its own way. The concrete slabs of the A40 through Perivale hammer the tread flat, the Uxbridge Road bus corridor from Acton to Southall grinds the shoulders on raised kerbs, and the Hanger Lane gyratory scrubs the outer edge every rush hour. When the wear bars show, the choice is a depot queue on Western Avenue or a phone call. Tree-lined avenues in Ealing Broadway and Pitshanger have driveways; Acton's terraces have permit bays; Greenford's units have yards. All of them work.
Copy the size from the sidewall, something like 225/40 R18 92Y, and say what you want to spend. The fitter picks a tyre that stands up to the A40's joints, quotes one number for tyre and fitting, and that number is what appears on the invoice in W13. Beside the car the new tyre is mounted, the wheel spun on the balancer and the nuts tightened to the setting the manufacturer specifies. The worn tyre goes for disposal in the van.
Avenues with driveways in Ealing Broadway, Pitshanger and Hanwell, a permit bay you hold in Acton, a yard on the Park Royal estate. The shopping centre car park at Ealing Broadway is private, and the Uxbridge Road bus lanes are out.

The code on the current tyre settles the order. Note the size, then the load number and speed symbol, and look for XL or run-flat wording nearby. A van tyre carries a C after the rim size, so read that too if the vehicle works out of Park Royal. Both tyres on an axle should match, which may turn one new tyre into two. The Pitshanger drive is the place for the car, with its locking key left in the door pocket.
Run-flat and standard tyres should never share an axle; the two behave differently when cornering round the Hanger Lane gyratory or braking on Western Avenue. If one run-flat needs replacing on a Pitshanger or Hanwell driveway, we match its partner by size, load index and speed rating, or suggest a pair when the other tyre is also worn.
