Van tyres in Bedworth
Van tyres in Bedworth, fitted without taking the van off the road.
This is van country. The Bayton Road industrial estate and Prologis Park on the Coventry border feed light commercials onto the A444 and the M6 at junction 3 all day, and the trades living in Collycroft, Ash Green and Keresley End follow them out. A van carrying stock presses down on each tyre far harder than an empty one, so yard debris, kerbed sidewalls off the B4113 roundabouts and worn rears fill the diary.
The sidewall tells us what to bring. Somewhere after the size sits a C, as in 225/65 R16C, the mark of a commercial build, followed by the load index, usually a pair such as 112/110 to allow for twin rear wheels, then a speed rating. The registration will do instead. The tyre fitted reaches that load figure or passes it, gets a balance on the spot and the pressures from the door pillar sticker.
