Tyburn Road lorries, the M6 slips at J5 and J6 and the Chester Road wear Erdington tyres out early. Send the sidewall size, choose a tier, and they are fitted on the drive.
An Erdington car covers hard miles: the A38 Tyburn Road to Minworth, the Sutton New Road bypass, the A452 out past Pype Hayes and the M6 with its debris on the slips. Tread goes, sidewalls weather on drives in Short Heath, and vans at the Fort Dunlop units wear the shoulders down on the Kingsbury Road. Replacing them means a size read off the tyre and a choice from budget through to premium.
Send the sidewall marking as it appears, letters and numbers together, and say what tier you want; the fitter loads that and brings it to the house. On the driveway in Pype Hayes or at the unit each tyre is mounted, balanced and torqued up, and the old casings leave in the van. Everything is costed on the call before the visit goes in the diary, with nothing to pay ahead of the fitting.
Driveways across Stockland Green, Short Heath and Pype Hayes, yards at Fort Dunlop and along the Tyburn Road, and the car parks at The Fort once the centre has agreed. The pedestrianised High Street and the M6 slips are not usable.

Reading an Erdington car's sidewall properly saves a wasted visit. Note the size, then the two codes after it, a load number and a speed letter; the new tyre must meet or beat both. Check for XL, a reinforced marking, and any run-flat symbol, since cars without a spare rely on them. Fit matching tyres across an axle. Leave the key for the locking nuts in the glovebox, and the car on the driveway in Short Heath or Pype Hayes rather than on the Chester Road.
A warning light near Gravelly Hill on a car without a spare means leaving the M6 at the next junction exit, keeping within the handbook's run-flat distance and speed. Stop somewhere safe such as The Fort shopping park, with the centre's agreement, or a Stockland Green side street. The tyre is inspected, then repaired or replaced with a matching run-flat.
