Tyres for Lewisham chosen from the sidewall marking, brought to Catford, Brockley or Sydenham and fitted where the car is parked, with no trip round the gyratory on a worn set.
The hills wear Lewisham's tyres out. Sydenham Hill, the climbs through Forest Hill and Honor Oak and the drop into Catford put constant load on the fronts, and the patched A21 through Bromley Road finishes the job. Owners in SE23 and SE26 usually spot the wear bars on a driveway, while in Brockley and Ladywell it is noticed in a permit bay near the station. An MOT booking is often what prompts the call for a pair.
Photograph the sidewall so the width, profile, rim and load rating are exact, and say whether budget, mid-range or a named premium brand suits the car and the money. A figure for the tyres, fitting, balancing and disposal is given on the call and does not change afterwards. The fitter arrives at your Hither Green or Lee street with the tyres on board, lifts the car in its space, fits and balances each wheel and sets the nuts with a torque wrench. Old casings go for recycling.
Driveways in Forest Hill, Sydenham and Grove Park, resident bays around Brockley and Lewisham stations, the Bromley Road retail car parks and the Lewisham Shopping Centre car park with the operator's say-so. Not on the A2, A20, A21 or South Circular, all of which are red routes.

Read the sidewall before calling from Catford or Brockley: the size, then and after it the Catford car's load digits and speed letter, plus any XL, run-flat or winter marking. Pairs should match across the axle, so check the tyre opposite as well. In most cars the locking key hides in a glovebox tray or beneath the boot carpet. Leave the car on your SE13 drive or permit bay, not on Lewisham High Street, which forms part of the A21 red route.
A pressure warning on the South Circular through Catford need not end at the kerb. Those tyres are built to cover just a short way, within whatever limits the car's handbook lays down, so leave the red route, pull into a Bromley Road retail car park or a Hither Green side street, and ring with the size printed on the sidewall.
