Newham is short of tyre bays and long on lorry roads. Pick the tyre from the sidewall marking and it is fitted at your East Ham terrace, Stratford car park or Royal Docks yard.
Tyres in Newham take a hammering from the A13 and the A12, where port and airport traffic grinds the surface and litters it with debris, and from the North Circular at Beckton. A car that commutes from Manor Park to the Royal Docks every day wears its fronts long before its rears. Most owners in E6, E7 and E12 notice the wear bars in the permit bay outside the house, or while loading the shopping in Westfield's multi-storey.
Photograph the sidewall and give the postcode, then choose between budget, mid-range and premium; the call explains which suits a car that lives on Newham Way against one that only sees Green Street. Tyre, fitting, balancing and disposal come as a single figure agreed before anything happens. At your Upton Park street or Custom House yard the wheels come off in turn, each new tyre is mounted and balanced on the van's equipment and the nuts are torqued. Old tyres travel back for recycling.
Permit bays in Stratford, Forest Gate, East Ham and Plaistow, works yards and staff car parks in Beckton, Silvertown and the Royal Docks, the Westfield multi-storey and hospital car park with the operator's agreement. The A12, A13 and A118 Romford Road are red routes and unusable.

When ordering for a car in Stratford or East Ham, read everything moulded into the rubber: the car's size first, then its load and speed code, plus XL or run-flat lettering. Vans and people carriers working around the Royal Docks may need a higher load rating, so do not guess. Match the pair on the axle. Tell us which pocket or tray holds the locking key, and leave the car in its E7 permit bay or a Beckton works car park, not on the A118.
Some Stratford and East Ham drivers ask to swap run-flats for conventional tyres. That can be done, though with no spare wheel aboard a sealant and compressor kit becomes essential, and the two kinds must never share an axle. Whichever you choose, the tyre pressure monitoring is checked once the wheels are back on in your Forest Gate permit bay.
