Tyre shopping in Richmond upon Thames without the trip: the size on the sidewall goes into a quote, and the tyre you pick is fitted on your Teddington driveway.
Richmond upon Thames wears tyres in its own way. Kew and Barnes families cover short trips on narrow lanes that scrub the front edges, Teddington and Hampton Hill commuters put motorway miles on via the A316, and the humps in Richmond Park take a toll on anything low. When the tread markers show, or the MOT tester at Twickenham has flagged the fronts, you want a proper choice of brands for that size rather than whatever a garage on Heath Road happens to have.
Look for the size code on the tyre wall, 225/40 R18 for instance, and send it with your TW or SW postcode to 07473 720871. You choose from budget, mid-range or premium at a figure confirmed before anything leaves Brent Cross. At the house in Hampton Hill or in the Twickenham station car park the wheel is removed, the worn tyre stripped off on the changer carried in the van, the fresh one seated, balanced, torqued, and the fitter takes the worn casing away for recycling.
Driveways in Teddington, Hampton Hill and Strawberry Hill suit new tyres best, along with the Twickenham station car park and a Kew permit bay of your own. The Chertsey Road dual carriageway is a red route, so nothing happens at its edge.

Reading a Twickenham car's sidewall in full saves a wasted trip. Beyond the size sit two more codes, 94W for example, giving load capacity and top speed, and the replacement cannot fall below either. Look for XL, run-flat or a manufacturer's star and quote those too. A pair on the same axle is best kept identical in brand and tread design. Tell us which cubbyhole holds the locking key, and park on a Teddington drive or in your Kew permit bay, nowhere near Chertsey Road.
If the dashboard flags low pressure on the Chertsey Road, your run-flat is only good for a short, gentle drive, within the handbook's limits. Leave the dual carriageway at the next junction, find a side road in Whitton or St Margarets, or the Twickenham station car park, then call with the size. On match days allow for stadium restrictions.
