New car and van tyres for Kitts Green are picked from the sidewall marking and fitted at a unit on the Garretts Green estate, in a Lea Hall station bay or on a driveway in Glebe Farm.
Kitts Green buys tyres for two kinds of vehicle. Vans working out of the Garretts Green trading estate wear through rear tyres on the A45 Coventry Road delivery runs, and the load rating on the sidewall matters as much as the size. Cars from Lea Hall, Glebe Farm and Tile Cross scrub their tread on the kerbed roundabouts of The Meadway and the speed humps of the side streets. In both cases the full sidewall marking is what the fitter needs to bring the right one.
Copy the complete sidewall code, including the load index and speed letter, for instance 215/65 R16C 109T on a van, and say whether the vehicle is at a unit, parked at Lea Hall station or on a Lea Village drive. Choose budget, mid-range or premium on the call. The tyre rides out on the van, gets fitted, balanced and torqued, and the worn one is taken away. Tyre and callout to B33 are quoted together beforehand.
Trading estate yards on Garretts Green Lane where the unit admits the van, a Lea Hall station bay well clear of the drop-off zone, or any drive or kerb round Kitts Green Road, Tile Cross and Glebe Farm. Never on The Meadway.

About new tyres fitted nationwide → · New tyres fitted on the Kitts Green page
Van tyres from the Garretts Green units carry extra letters, that Kitts Green orders must include. A C after the rim size marks a commercial tyre, and the load index that follows, such as 109/107, covers single and twin wheel loads. Car tyres may show XL or a run-flat mark. Match load and speed or better, and keep an axle's pair the same. Keep the locking key in the cab. Leave the vehicle in the unit yard, the station car park at Lea Hall or on a Glebe Farm drive.
A run-flat keeps the car moving after a puncture, but only within the distance and speed limits given in your vehicle handbook. If the warning comes on along the A45 Coventry Road, turn off and park on a Kitts Green Road side street, a Tile Cross drive or a Lea Hall station bay, never on The Meadway, then ring us.
Car or van, new tyres fitted at the Kitts Green unit, station bay or drive, worn ones removed.
