From a Parsons Green terrace to the W12 streets north of Goldhawk Road, new tyres in Hammersmith and Fulham are chosen from the sidewall and fitted on the resident bay, with the fixture list checked first.
Tyres in this borough are worn by parking as much as by driving. Fulham's terraces demand a tight angle against the kerb, so the outer shoulders scrub every time the car goes in; the build-outs and cycle-lane kerbs on Fulham Palace Road and Hammersmith Grove catch the same edge on the way out. When the tread bars show on the car outside a Barons Court flat, the owner wants a pair sorted without surrendering a Saturday to a retail park.
Read the size off the sidewall, 225/40 R18 or whatever the current tyre says. Send that, the street, the bay, and any home fixture at Stamford Bridge, Craven Cottage or Loftus Road that day. Budget, mid-range or premium is chosen on the phone and tyre plus fitting are totalled there, never revised at the kerb. On the bay in SW6 or W14 the tyre is mounted, balanced, the nuts torqued, and the old tyre taken away.
Resident permit bays from Fulham up through West Kensington to Shepherds Bush with the bay given, the mews off Fulham Road, the streets where Charing Cross Hospital staff park. Not inside the Westfield car parks, and not on the A4, the Westway or the West Cross Route.

Getting it right first time in Fulham and Hammersmith means reading on past the size. Next comes a load number and speed symbol, 97Y perhaps, and whatever replaces the tyre has to match both. XL shows a reinforced carcass; a run-flat marking calls for a like-for-like swap. Keep pairs on each axle matched in model and wear. Say where the locking key is, and leave the car on its resident bay in Parsons Green or Brook Green, clear of any match-day cordon.
With run-flats there is no spare, so the tyre pressure warning is the only early sign of trouble, and it is checked once a new tyre goes on. In Fulham or Shepherds Bush that means a resident bay or a mews off Fulham Road with space beside the wheel; on match days near Stamford Bridge or Loftus Road, mention the fixture.
Sidewall size, SW6 or W12 bay, fixture checked: the new tyres are fitted there.
