Terrace parking in Winson Green scrubs tyre shoulders on the kerb. Read the size from the sidewall, choose a make, and a new tyre is fitted on your B18 street or in a City Hospital bay.
The streets between Dudley Road and the Metro line are where Winson Green tyres wear out. Kerb-edge parking along Foundry Road and in Brookfields flattens the outer shoulder, buses on the A457 chew the surface into potholes, and the inside edge goes unnoticed until a test. Everything our fitter needs is on the sidewall: width, profile, rim size, load and speed rating. A picture of that string, and a word on budget versus premium, is enough to choose a tyre for a car that lives in B18.
Text the photo with the street or the hospital car park name, and say whether the space is a residents' bay. Our fitter drives to Winson Green with the tyre, has the old one off, fits and balances the replacement, torques the wheel and sets the pressure, then loads the worn casing into the van. Tyre, fitting and the visit to B18 are added up while you are on the call, and that figure is what you pay at the car.
A terrace off Winson Green Road with a metre free at the wheel, a Gib Heath drive, or a City Hospital car park if security lets the van through. Dudley Road bus lanes and the Outer Circle by the tram stop are not places to stop.

About new tyres fitted nationwide → · New tyres fitted on the Winson Green page
A car kept in Winson Green gets the right new tyre first time if the sidewall code reaches us whole: size, then load index and speed symbol, with any XL or run-flat marking. The two B18 tyres sharing an axle want an identical size and pattern, so say what is on the other side. Leave the locking key inside the car, and park it on a Winson Green Road terrace or a Gib Heath drive, not in a Dudley Road bus lane.
Because a run-flat can hide a puncture, the pressure warning light is often the only sign on Dudley Road. If it comes on, get to a terrace off Winson Green Road or a residents' bay your permit covers. With the replacement run-flat mounted, the fitter makes sure the monitoring system reads again, so the next warning can be trusted.
