Alcester vans head off down the A46 and A435 every working day. When a tyre fails, a load-rated match is brought to the Arden Forest industrial estate, a Kinwarton drive or a village yard.
Many vans working out of Alcester run up the A435 to Redditch and Birmingham, or along the A46 to Stratford and Evesham, loaded with tools, materials or parcels. Lanes out towards Ragley Hall and Coughton Court lead to farms and country properties, and gravel drives and field gateways chew van tyres in ways a car rarely meets. A slow leak spotted in a yard at Arden Forest can wreck a full day of booked work.
Look for the load marking first. On most van tyres the rim diameter is followed by the letter C, though some say reinforced or XL instead, and after that comes a pair of load numbers and a speed letter, as in 225/65 R16C 112/110R. The new tyre must match or exceed those ratings, even when a car tyre of the same size looks tempting. Share the code, registration and location on the call; the price is confirmed then, and the fitter arrives with the right stock.
Yards and car parks on the Arden Forest industrial estate work well, as do firm driveways in Kinwarton or Arrow. Gravel, grass verges along the A46 and the narrow bays of Henley Street or the High Street are not suitable.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Alcester page
Jacking a laden van needs a solid, level base, so tarmac or concrete at Arden Forest suits better than a gravel drive in Great Alne. Take heavy tools out if that is easy. The job is done at the van's side: the wheel is removed, the tyre is swapped over on the changer, then balancing and torquing follow, and it can head straight back onto the A46. Electric vans are heavier than they look, and their replacement tyres should carry the maker's specified load index and noise rating.
