New tyres for a Wandsworth car are picked from the sidewall figures and fitted wherever it is kept: a basement under Nine Elms, a permit bay off Lavender Hill, a Putney driveway.
The towers along Nine Elms Lane and around Battersea Power Station park their cars underground, many of them on run-flats that a high street depot rarely stocks. Out in Balham, Tooting and Clapham Junction the car lives in a permit bay it would lose for the afternoon if it went anywhere. Add the A3 and A24 red routes and the one-way system through Wandsworth Town, and the errand of buying tyres becomes a phone call and a fitter at the car.
Copy the sidewall marking, width, profile, rim and any run-flat symbol, and message it with the postcode to 07473 720871. The reply is a set of options from budget to premium in that exact size, and the number you agree to covers tyre, callout and fitting before the van leaves NW2. In the bay the fitter lifts each corner in turn, strips the worn tyre, seats and balances the new one and refits the wheel at the right torque, and the old rubber goes off for disposal.
Underground bays in Nine Elms and Battersea once the concierge has the van's details, permit bays across Balham, Tooting and Clapham Junction, Putney and Southfields drives, or the Southside car park. The A3, the A24 and Trinity Road are red routes and out of the question.

About new tyres fitted nationwide → · New tyres fitted on the Wandsworth page
On a Putney driveway, read the sidewall from left to right: 235/40 R19 96Y, for instance, gives width, profile and rim, then load index and speed symbol. Note an XL stamp and any run-flat code, since those must be matched. Tyres on one axle should be the same model. Tell us where the locking wheel nut key is kept, and park on the Putney drive or in a Southfields bay rather than beside Upper Richmond Road.
The run-flat symbol you copy from the sidewall matters: SSR, ZP, RFT and DSST all indicate a tyre built to carry the car briefly without air. With no spare on board, the pressure sensors are your early warning, so they are checked after fitting in a Nine Elms underground bay, a Balham permit bay or the Southside car park.
