Vans running out of Stratton Business Park onto the A1 need the tyre the axle is rated for, not the nearest one going. It comes to the yard, the site or the house.
Biggleswade sits beside a road that never rests, and the vans working from Stratton Business Park use it hard: south on the A1 towards Stevenage, north for Sandy, then off through the roundabouts fully laden. Lorry debris on those roundabout approaches finds van tyres before it finds anything else, and the raw kerbs on the Kings Reach building roads take care of the sidewalls.
Van tyres are picked by load, not by looks. The plate in the doorframe gives the size, plus the load index the axle has to carry, and a reinforced or C marking on the old sidewall repeats it. Pass both on, say what the van carries and where it is standing, and the correct tyre travels up from NW2 to be mounted, balanced and torqued.
Yards and staff bays on Stratton Business Park take van work, as do drives in Stratton Park, Holme, Langford and Broom. Market Square is too tight for it, and neither the A1 verges nor its lay-bys are anywhere to put a jack.

A van with its load aboard puts far more strain on a jack than a car ever will, so the surface counts. A yard on Stratton Business Park, a Holme driveway or a flat space in the A1 Retail Park all give the jack something solid; a soft verge off the B1040 gives it nothing. Electric vans add battery weight, so the rating on the placard and any noise figure have to be matched exactly.
Biggleswade van tyres fitted at the yard so the A1 run carries on.
