Buying new tyres in Tower Hamlets means picking a size and a budget, then having them fitted where the car already sits: under Canary Wharf, on a Bethnal Green estate or a Wapping permit street.
Most cars in E1, E2, E3 and E14 live in places a tyre shop cannot see from the road: the estate car parks behind Whitechapel Road, basements beneath Canada Square, the cobbled permit streets of Wapping. Driving a worn set to a fitting bay across the A13 or up Mile End Road is a wasted afternoon in traffic, and with the ULEZ covering every corner of the borough an older car pays for the trip too. So the choosing happens on the phone and the fitting happens at the bay.
Note every part of the sidewall marking, width, profile, rim and load rating, and message it to 07473 720871 with your postcode. You get a shortlist from budget to premium in that size, and the figure you agree covers the tyre, the visit and the fitting, settled before the van leaves Brent Cross. In your bay the wheel is taken off, the fresh tyre mounted and balanced on the van, torqued to the figure the maker specifies, and the old one goes away with the fitter.
Estate car parks in Poplar and Bethnal Green, your allocated bay on a Bow estate, a Canary Wharf basement once the building has admitted the van, or a Limehouse side street. Not on the A11, A13 or Aspen Way, all red routes.

Before ringing from Poplar, note every character on the sidewall, not only the size: something like 225/45 R17 followed by 94W, where 94 is the load index and W the speed rating. Note any XL stamp or run-flat symbol, because a plain tyre in its place changes the handling. Left and right on one axle want the same tread pattern and similar wear. Check the locking key is in the glovebox, and leave the car in its estate bay, well away from East India Dock Road.
Run-flat replacement in Tower Hamlets usually happens in a Poplar estate car park, an allocated bay in Bow or a Canary Wharf basement the building has cleared. Pairs across an axle must not mix construction, so one replacement run-flat is matched to the tyre opposite in size and ratings. The Highway and Aspen Way are red routes, never a place to stop for this.
Send the sidewall size and the E postcode; new tyres come to your bay in Tower Hamlets.
